What a wonderfully bizarre image. I love that you have to really look hard at it and try to figure out what you are actually seeing in this photo. There is so much going on. Your creative composition is quite compelling. The glare of the guy looking back at you adds a strangeness that fits the atmosphere well.

Fabulous use of reflection to create a very interesting image. The shapes and lines are wonderful in holding this composition together so well. The people and their shadows contrast with the shapes and lines nicely. I love that nothing joins up 100% between each reflective square. This photo reminds me of the photo joiners of David Hockney (that I also love to make.)

**This contest is open to photographers ranked between 1 and 250 in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** Crowd scenes of the human kind (which we’re focussing on here) have been more difficult to come across these last two years, so this ranked contest may be a bit of a delve into the archive. There’s something uniquely interesting about us when we get together in large groups - it’s an opportunity for comparisons of look, attitude, expression and dress, and to observe different behaviours, and the arenas in which we congregate.

Great timing, lighting and choice of exposure. I love that you have included the row of posters. The flow of the movement in your composition is very interesting. With the repetition of the posters that are all quite static and the girls wind blown hair that catches the light so beautifully, the atmosphere of the photo is so strong. I like that the other two faces that we can see are both men and both looking away from the general flow of the motion.
