Some Cleveland Graffiti

[byronling]

I've never shot graffiti before, but some shots on this site inspired me to go into the rougher areas of Cleveland get some shots. First time shooting graffiti, so give me any feedback. Shot with my new Sigma 10-20 on a 20d, and some PP in photoshop.

I love #1 and #3. On #3 I would consider cropping to just above the curb. No good reason other than it looks more apealling to me. I don't how #2 has the top of the wall in the direct middle of the picture. #1 is perfect. I love it. HAve you ever wondered why those that do graffiti seem to be such good artists?

haha thannks for the response, and great point about #2. I did crop the bottom a bit, and have been questioning myself since. I had that "something was wrong" feeling but figured I'd get some input.

I agree on the crop of #3. That is your best shot IMO.
