 Mc Killroy was here!

This photo is a reflection of myself in a brass placard outside of a McDonnalds in Wells Fargo center, which partly explains the color cast. I also played with saturation and temperature when I noticed that I could get "golden arches"
I noticed the "Killroy was here" analogy both with my nose and the inverse of the double arch, but either it wasn't as clever as I thought or people just didn't get it.
This was my first entry, so I have no whee to go but up, but I wonder if voting would have gone differently if people realized it was a photo of a reflection, or how I would indicate that in my submission. Open to suggestions.

The image is actually a reflection taken off a brass plaque, thus the color cast. The "dust" appears where the metal had been burnished off.

Good Idea for the challenge. Just a little bright red for my liking.
