I like how all these people are "interacting" with each other as a group (both literally and by doing exactly the opposite, ignoring each other). There is something very playful here, just like some scene of a Breughel painting.
 
Your photos seem to have a sense of Edgar Degas and the French Impressionists. That is my comment before reading the earlier posts. They are beautiful to see.
 
Thanks, Rusty. I didn't think of any connection until I read your post, although I'm familiar with Degas' work on jockeys and horseracing. And I'm glad you like my photos.
