This is true graffiti, not a mural. Some of it is extremely artistic too! Your shot is extremely well composed and shows THEIR artwork very well. Donkeyoatey

Very colorful and creative. Like the trees arching over the house for more interest. Graffiti is nice probably painted by whoever lived there. Best entry for the contest I have seen. slblevins:)

Comment from crystal clear


It is fantastic this art of graffiti isn't it? All different people coming together to express their ideas and beliefs through art...The photo is well balanced due to the shape of the structure itself as well as the unique leaning trees! Nice entry!

Comment from PipesLine


Center of interest is well defined in the photo. All aspects of the shot are well balanced in the frame. The lighting/color worked out well also. Certainly a story in the picture, in fact a number of them. Good tech work also. I might crop out the small brown something in the very forefront of the frame, Can't see a reason why it should be there. Nice picture to review

Comment from debi-d


I love to photograph graffitti as well. I think it could be cropped a little tighter. The top of the sky doesnt add to the photo at all. I know the trees frame it in. But less can be more sometimes.
Teh dark like door really pulls you into the photo though. Interesting capture.

    debi-d,
    thank you for the time you spent reviewing and making suggestions on how to improve it as you see it. I tried it and desided to post it with the sky I thought and still think it adds balance to the composition as presented. If I cropped it I would crop it so that only very small aspects become the new image, like the Fat Albert face on the left wall, or the space alian shooting something from his eyes, or the door way and the red letting. thank you again, your time is very much appreciated. take care ... cheers!

initial impact 4
creativity of presentation 4
I like the composition as it is right now, as it shows the whole scene well and the branches add interest. However, I think it may be more intriguing if you shot from another angle, focusing on one of the more specific pieces of artwork in the old house.
color harmony 5
center of interest 5
technical excellence 5
technique 4
story telling ability 5
lighting 4
Colors are slightly blown in places, and I think the picture could benefit overall from some more contrast.

Nice job, and this was an enjoyable picture to view. Best of luck in the contest!

    Colors in the graffiti are definitely stronger, though the top part of the picture still seems a little overexposed...
Comment from lindansteph


very interesting shot .
I hate graffiti normally because in Britain they have little imagination .or talent
But this is very colorful and has some charm .
Still wouldn`t like it if I had to look at it everyday though .
Technically a little blurry , but still enjoyed reviewing .

That is certainly an unusual picture, and the trees make a great composition. It attracts attention with the bright colors, and it holds interest.
