    Great mural.
    If you cropped it any, I'd go back and get that top corner of the building back in.
    Its a bit dark too.....maybe can be lightened up in post edit or if its near your wait for better light.
    I think the angle works but needs more on the left.

    Thanks for showing it.
    Keep Shooting!

    Hi Don,

    Cool image. The lawn and the poles almost look like the're part of the mural.

    Darken the sky and lighten the mural in postprocessing or layer a software graduated blue filter over your photo controlling the transparency.

    I agree with the others on the lighting, but another strong composition Don.

    Very artsy shot. I agree with everything Frog wrote. Also agree that it has a little too much blue. But it was a good capture overall and it appears that your low angle worked well, with a few tech issues that might be correctable.

    This place calls for a reshoot........

    Re: Mural Depicting Downtown

    Now this one I really like. I would like to see the same image with better light (is it on the north side of a building?).

    I really like your crop and the way the foreground blends in with the mural.

    Don,

    I agree with Carbon on lighting. I would also like to see a bit more room around the building.

    Other than that I like it a lot.
