It could be an artifact of the image and the shutter speed/exposure, but gosh darn, one of the people in the back is headless, not too far away from them it looks like a blurred face was manually edited to be 'nightmare fuel' material. As well as one of the faces of the kids sitting behind the stage.
Again, I could just be incredibly tired.
Going to sleep now, so you guys can analyze and let me know.
Beautiful nonetheless and I am really looking forward to the coming few days.
I've had something similar in one or two photographs I have seen/taken where it is just pattern recognition from lack of clarity and nothing else, though. This is likely a case of that.
The blurred faces definitely reminds me a bit of the cover of MHTRTC. The guy in the white sweater in the bottom left doesn't have a head, but the shadow above almost makes it look like the silhouette of a giant head, lol. There is for sure some decompression "artifacting" going on in the image, it probably intentionally it was "pixeled down" considerably from the original. I agree with what you said about the pattern recognition, though, it definitely plays a role in messing with your brain. I keep trying to complete the picture of everyone that isn't up on the stage, my brain seems to go in aimless directions. I may be a bit too tired as well, and at the risk of sounding like a "lune," I swear if you look at the second tree (underneath the lady in red with a hat) there is an outline of a running bull with horns in the tree. That's just my imagination though, the same thing happens when looking at clouds too long. Mechanismj had a fantastic catch with the "Under the Coke Sign" comment, I missed it entirely until they mentioned it. Also the box on the left seems to vaguely remind me of the Trans Canada Highway album art.
