All those tiles make me dizzy, great shot.

Wow...that is some kind of restroom! It is a bit disorienting - we are so used to these being presented all in a row, so the curved room with the toilets all wrapping around is unusual to say the least! Very interesting pattern, not only in the toilets but in the tiles.

A shot a lady couldn't have gotten :-) Captures the theme.

Very cool shot - great idea to take a photo of this bathroom!

When I saw the room, I thought that it looked like a fish eye photo or maybe the opposite of that. I took a pic of it with my F30, but I thought I would like to see what would happen when the wide angle of the R1 met the fish-eye room. I feel like R1 made the flatness of the image pull hard against the roundness of the room.

Nice to see you trying some alternative scenery John, gotta say this one's one of my favourites of yours to date. Excellent take on the theme and for some reason I keep thinking this is very "Kubrick-like"... sort of a 2007 Restroom Oddyssey ;)

Great capture, John.

Superb image! Looks like they are holding a meeting ... :-)

I didn't have to clone anyone out. This is taken in a brand new Holiday Inn in TEDA. They have built a huge facility here, but it's almost completely empty. No one in the rooms, no one in the restaurants, no one in the washrooms. China is developing so fast, they slap up buildings willy nilly, but sometimes it takes the population a few years to find them...jrdu

Clever idea John and well done; lots of patterns here. Did you have to clone anyone out? :-)

Love the title, John!! I said there were patterns everywhere and this image proves that point! Most creative and excellent patterns.

Not the "Little Boys" room. Beautiful exposure!
