May challenge - discussion encouraged

Just adding a few more examples of images where a key element may be missed on initial viewing.

I'd love to see your unique perspective on these, and let's see your own images to keep discussions moving.

Another chance!

Photo #1: To be honest, with your photos I know that I need to both see and observe, so I am not sure I observe more than people with time to wait, and those that need to be someplace right now, in a huge enclosed space.

Photo #2: I like the juxtaposition of the stairs going up with the stairs going down with the person unconscious (?) of mimicking the artwork on the building, with both crowded in life, but not in Art.

Photo #3: Action vs inaction while the statue cannot breath, the visitor is wearing a mask that mimic's not breathing (safely). Also,
see #15 on this page: https://www.boredpanda.com/photos-right-time-and-moment-victor-breyl/

Photo #4: This is hilarious! not just the two sitting at the window, but the two in the background that are back to back. Great advertising.

Photo #5: I do know that some primates are capable if sign language; however, I have never heard of their ability to read. A bit of a Planet of the Apes with the book title "The Rising", but I don't think that is what author Larry Silverstein intended. Perhaps the reader is encouraging the statues that their day will come!

Thanks Dean. I agree with #1, but just wanted to post something a little different. I personally enjoy the contrast between the static and moving people.

On #2 I took a number of shots, trying to align foreground elements with the moving signage in the background. This was just one of those lucky instances where the girl on the steps in front closely mimicked that of the display behind (in which the girl was walking up steps before disappearing behind a door).

#3 - thanks for that link. This is eerily close to the work done by Paulk Harrison, who I featured in a blog some time ago (https://www.alanbrownphotography.com/blog/influencers-paul-harrison).
This actually led to my own attempt - see https://www.alanbrownphotography.com/blog/first-looks-art-connections

Thanks again - I always appreciate your input.

#1 - I love the location, but I'm not sure I like the people moving because it looks like dirty spots on the floor. I wish the movement was more colorful instead of gray.

#2 - I love the story of life mimicking art (or vice-versa). The narrative is clear, and the color scheme is perfect too.

#3 - Wonderful story! I love it - the woman bounded in all ways and the statue free. Great shot, Alan!

#4, #5 - Fantastic stories all around!!!
