During the holidays, I was wandering around the city looking for decorations and motifs for the related 12-day Side Challenge. My object was to capture all images from the car (not necessarily while it was moving). In this case, the streetcar was coming up behind me; I was moving at about 4-5 mph and it was a true over the shoulder grab shot, and I rejected it for that side-challenge. When this came up on my monitor, I saw all those circles and the rest is as you see. I found two different crops and could not choose between them. The first one is above and the second is here...

Processing:
Crop,
new Layer: Simplify>Cartoon>lines @40% and Gaussian blur
new layer: foreground divider, Effects>texture
flatten and as always, Selective Colors to brighten up things.
And probably some other things.

What a good eye for an assortment of interesting and unrelated things. Love your processing - it really pulls it all together.

Love the cartooning of this! This could have been a panel in a comic book!

I like the funky processing, and both crops work. Lol about the lollies, coz that pink is the exact colour.

The PP adds a fascinating aura to this, it really takes it to a whole new level.

this is fantastic alice .. love the processing you've done .. the colours are excellent .. it does have a bit'v a lolly feel to it like roger said .. & its like you're hiding behind the tram, which seems more like a fixture in this cropped version .. almost like you're a private investigator .. what would we see if you moved a bit to the right .. ?..:)

These are great colours - like those particulalry unpleasant chewy sweets we used to have - I think this is strawberry sherbet and mango crush flavours
