Some of the better graffitti found in my area. Outside "Mac's Bad Art Bar". Mattydale, N.Y.

Nicely captured, Jay. :o)

Hope you don't mind me sharing my thoughts here. As I can't help but notice the (somewhat) precarious balance of subject matter.

Meaning; the relief of the mortar and bricks and then that of the graffiti art itself.

Intial thought was to pull back a tad for the shot ... now? And after having taken in your photo some more?

I like it. :o)

I like it too! Bold colors and design. I like the textures of the bricks. Nice find and presentation.

Love the clarity on this one, Jay and the border too.

In short, or I shall try anyways ... and perhaps, posing a question might put my comments above into perspective:

What do you wish your viewers to see?

That of the graffiti? Or that of the bricks and mortar (the 'relief' stuff alluded to above)?

Pulling back would effectively bring the graffiti to the forefront, more so, in my mind.

Then ... after taking your image in some more, and as stated; "I like it".

/\ Lil' clearer, Jay?


An aside:

I almost missed your followup response, Jay.

Time and opportunity permitting on your end, don't hesitate to ask me for clarification. I enjoy your work and am happy to explain my thoughts/ideas/caveats as best I can. :o)

It's all good.. I wanted to bring out the textures and the art its self. It's rather distorted but ohwell.. Just another learning curve.
