A wall located behind my apartment complex in Louisville, KY where the local teens have created some graffiti. Thought this was an interesting shot after saturating the colors to bring out the different colors of the orange metal beams, green wood planks, red graffiti paint, and concrete wall. This was captured in the late evening so the street light was able to shine on the wall allowing me to enhance the colors even more and create nice contrast (the shadow area between the red graffiti and concrete wall).

This is a fine array of colorful textures and lines. Very bright. A good desktop and conversation piece. Nicely done.

Thanks Cynlee. My brother-in-law is actually infatuate with this piece and is begging me to blow it up onto a canvas for his house. I actually took him to the spot where the shot was taken and he couldn't believe I was able to actually get this result "from that." lol

The combination of colours the composition and lighting make this a beautiful piece of work.

Thank you Raj. I love capturing scenes such as this that we might miss during everyday life and bringing them to life for others to enjoy.
