Street art in Brick Lane, London

[sharsidd]

Hi all

Just wondering what people think of this pic:

- Is it interesting at all?
- How does one take a picture of street art and make it interesting, without really relying solely on the original artist's work?
- What could I have done to make this more interesting?

Thanks!

The first thing that stands out to me is that you should probably should have cropped it on the right. I'm not that experienced so I can't tell you much more

Overall, I think the shot is pretty cool.

And I actually kinda like the jagged, crumbly edge of the building. I think it gives more character.

You might try changing your perspective some (ie. shoot from very low to the ground looking "up" at the wall) and playing with the DOF.
