Eric, I cheated on this one.  I saw the sign, set up my tripod, and waited for my game to appear.

That's not cheating. I call that having a good eye and seeing the potential for an image; and the patience to wait. Sometimes you only see the potential because of the kind and quality of light. Some people see this as easy, and in some cases it may very well be. But frankly you have to see the design and its potential in the first place. It doesn't just happen. The other thing I like about this image is the configuration of the woman. It is dynamic and flows with the movement of the painted hand. The woman expresses a sense of hurried purpose as if to fulfill the directive of the painted hand. Notice also, the triangulation of the pink hand and shoes. And the backward gesturing hand is a wonderful counterpoint that adds tension to the unified movement. Wonderful.
