Nice photo! That little strip on the bottom...maybe if there were more of it (step back a bit) or less of it? Great photo as it is.

I like the grungy look altho I usually like grungy looking photos a lot. The saturation is spot on the only room for improvement would be a lens correction filter to bring the vertical plane flat with the sensor plane.

Nice capture of the wall art. Unfortunately, it is like photographing statues. When you photograph someone else's artwork it is difficult to give a proper critique. Good eye for seeing some artistic value in the setting.

Yeah, I agree with clockdoc, but I think if you were to frame it a little differently, maybe so you don't record all of the text, and capture a person next to it, you'd get a classic image. And you'd give the entire thing some scale.
Great colors though. I like the contrast and shadows.

i think it looks great....someone else's art for sure....but, a great looking capture of it all the same....

if your handy in the editing department, why don't you add some more black along the whole left side of the frame to match the right....

thanks

I really like this photograph as is and do think it is one of the best on the site. I think the black and offset of the picture gives it some depth and feeling of the alley-way (sp). The colors are great, I wonder when it was painted. Isn't one of the roles of good photography is to help capture aspects of beauty and other aspects of life for sharing?
