Thank you for commenting. They are actually what seem to be benches. They seem to represent some sort of pop/modern art type of architecture. Whatever the history behind them is, they were able to catch my attention.
Again, thanks.

This is a really interesting shot..
Great to know you can capture images from the street (and the spirit of it) just as well
at first i thought it was 4 images you'd just put together, but then I noticed it was a panoramic shot.
Why'd you decide to chop it up like that?

First of all thanks for the comment!

I chopped it up because I wanted to emphasize the colors. The whole shot had more distractions and more people.
It took away from the main subjects.

The shapes and cut is great in this shot. it comes alive in a way, yet is quite
unreal. Unfortunately the placement of the people in the shot could be a bit
better e.g the girl on the left should've been more visible. But people are so
random

Thanks for the comment, greatly appreciated. I do agree with your view on the people. Quite frankly i really wish they wouldnt have been there at all. But I had to work with what I had. The reason she is not completely in the view is because I wanted to focus more on the Structural component rather than the people. Not the exact product i desired but it was not a bad experiment.

I've come to realise that I often like people in a lot of shots, particular
those with manmade structures and I think street shots should have
people in them unless there is strong reason not to have them. After
all the city is the people

But I like the shot and I think it's better with the people even if they could
be positioned better Keep shooting
