I'm not sure if I like this or not.

Theres not alot to it, The graffiti is nothing to look at. Maybe further down the wall where there appears to be a bigger hit in blue.

Well the composition is good but the graffiti really doesn't grab my attention as much as the path leading off does.

I know... I look at it and decide that I greatly dislike it, but I keep coming back to it. I deleted (and undeleted) it twice. It's driving me batty. lol

I know exactly how you feel about it. I really think the path is what draws you into the photo. It's seems to be the first thing I notice when I look at it. Raises the questions to the viewer as to where does it lead does it go behind the wall, where does the wall end, And of course "if I take the path will I find out what is behind the wall?" So I guess in many respects it's a strong photo. :) Maybe if you had caught a little more of the path, things would have been different.

Then I will have to go back! I'll try to get the path to run off the bottom edge JUST before the corner. I took a couple other snaps from different angles, but for whatever reason I deleted the others and kept this one. Then deleted this one... then restored it. Deleted it again. Restored it again... LOL!

I tried B&W btw, and it looks really neat, but the trail seems to "dissapear" slightly. That kind of sucked...

Yes, the path ... is it a jogging path next to a sound barrier wall?

The foliage on the right seem washed out. Perhaps if you darken it a bit, and increase saturation?

Cool contrast between urban and rural hear, i think a few mods in pp would make it a really interesting shot!

Very interesting shot and intriguing judging by the comments above. I despise graffiti but love the contrast here between the wall/graffiti and the natural path/greenery.

Well done!

The attention seems to be drawn away from the wall, maybe add some DOF in ps would help? :cool:
