    Graffiti



    I really liked the colors and the design on the wall

    I do not believe my composition is the best, hated the sidewalk and top part of the wall.

    I can easily reshoot parallel to the wall, or even make a panorama :idea:

    comments or suggestions ?

    Thanks for watching

    Yeah I'm not liking the angle either. I think parallel would make for a much better image.

    I agree about the angle. But it would have to be a pano.

    Re: Graffiti

    Powerful color, & very abstract in that the art allows you to somehow lose your reference point.

    As for the angle, I agree that the sidewalk and the wall above the art is sorta a letdown compared to the vivid colors of the grafetti. I've had a number of my own shots with the same compositional dilemma: not sure what to do, but perhaps a direct shot of the art instead would solve that. But then you get a much smaller viewpoint, and it may be a tad boring. Keep thinking for a solution!

    To me the angle is fine, but fill the frame. - TF

    Found that someone threw some brown paint over the painting

    Armando, the second is much better. It's nice that it's not straight on, while you have some nice shapes and color filling the frame.

    Cool.

    #2 right on target. Sometime the images is about a salient detail as opposed to just getting the entire scene. Good decision to walk around and change your perspective. The full panel would have made a cool shot, but only as something stitched together.
    It's not about the camera....
