The highlife on 105th

Some street shot I took today. Kinda funky I thought. I like how the beginning of the shot on the right is totally the address plate and than kinda zooms off to the brick.

Critique away.

Love the DOF here Jared. Those #'s really stand out.

Thanks John. I definately wanted to make those numbers pop out, but still use the brick as a subtle yet good background.

I really like this, the only thing that I saw that I would change is that the bricks in the "corner?" are off a little, I am not sure if you can rotate and crop or if it would be easier to reshoot. I love this concept though. Making good out of things that people see everyday and never think twice about!!

Chow,

Good observation. I might crop it off or go back and re shoot.

Thanks again.

Jared,

The composition is good IMO. There is a "vague" marking on the right side - probably done by someone's finger on dust?? Do you see it? It's the only thing I found distracting.

ETA: Looking at it again, I think it's part of the graffiti - I didn't realize that since it's much less noticeable than the other piece.

Liz,

I see what your talking about...kinda in the top/centre right? If I remember correctly, it was more graffiti, but very subtle (like done with a black sharpie, so it didn't show up that well).

I'm surprised you were the first person to mention it, I thought it would be a cause for alot more of a problem but I'm glad you like it!

Thanks Liz.
