    Oblivious

    I took this as I just love the mural and it's worn look. It's in a rough, deprived area and depicts how life in the area should be, but isn't. The fact that it's decayed away as much as the area itself just says it all, but the chap on his phone is just oblivious to it, as most people are towards the mural and the area itself. Hope you like it.



    Much much better viewed large, so please click the link

    Interesting. I like that "why not you" over there.

    Beauty!

    I love this photo! First of all, the composition is great. I love the weathered-looking mural. And I almost missed the guy walking across the grass. It's when I noticed him that the real strength of this photo hit me. I have a feeling it suffers a bit at this small size. I'd love to see it as a big print. I think it would be a lot more powerful, then. Very, very well done.

    Excellent photo! I think the white point could be brought down a bit to enhance the contrast. Its also hard to have a good look at the detail at this low resolution, I'd like to see it at a larger size.
