    Thank you so much Nancy for your encouraging review and More than Generous rating. The graffiti here in Mexico is out of this world. It seems most garage doors and walls are painted. Great place for photography. Thanks again Nancy. Hope all is safe and well Nancy ~ Steve

Nice look in animation art. The color are awesome, and work nicely together. The solid background brings out the image excellently, even though black tends to flatten the image area. Great presentation and clarity. Very nice image. Thanks

    Thank you Highfive. This is a photograph of a graffiti work on a wall. I blackened the background to bring out the colors of this beautiful graffiti work of art. Some very talented artists out these. Thank again for your review Highfive ~ Steve

This graffiti is indeed colorful. Your photo of the artwork is perfect focused, exposed and treated with mixed media. The clarity of detail is striking. The black background amplifies the vivid colors perfectly. The framing is to tight in my opinion. I think with a bit more black space above and at the right the Iguana would look even more attractive.

    Thank you Cleo for your review and constructive comments. I am going back to another image of this and will give more room on the top and right side. Thank you for pointing that out Cleo.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Superb up close and very personal!
The compact framing shows fantabulous colors so vivid with fine features and smooth textures...!
Some portions look like beads meticulously assembled together!
The artist must be a very patient & persevering person!

Sharply focused. Gorgeous illumination. Impeccable presentation!

I guess it's better to provide more breathing spaces on the head & snout parts...
Just a friendly suggestion though...

This is already a winner in my book so advance congratulations, Steve!

    Thank you Dickson for your very encouraging review and commentary. The contest is a long way off so time will tell. Regardless of ultimate results it was fun to work on this one. Thank you again my friend ~ Steve

    Do you have the capture of the whole graffiti, Steve?
reply by the author on 25-May-2020
    I am going to check that out. I know I shot several photos so maybe I can redo so it isn't so tight.
reply by Dick Lee Shia on 25-May-2020
    Yes, have a little more marginal "breathing" spaces on the head & snout parts...

    Can I add this in my commentary? ;-)
Comment from Patti C


Wow! This is a great entry into the color contest! The focus is perfect and the colors are vibrant. I love it. I do wish the top of his eyebrow part wasn't cut off--a little more black at top would be perfect. Good luck!

    Thank you so much Patti for your fabulous review and Grand rating. The top of the head was painted like this as it was touching the top of the wall. I agree that it would have been better if the artist included the entire head. It was beautiful none the less. Thank you again Patti ~ Steve

    Well, no stars for the artist who didn?t plan his composition very well!! Glad you understand my viewpoint since I didn?t understand your limitations. ;-)
Comment from Lucien van Oosten


I really like the vibrant colors and the way it looks like an illustration.
The pose is nice as well.
The one draw back is at the top, he is to close to the upper edge and right side of the image, needs more negative space there.
Thank you for having allowed me to comment on your post.
Take care, cheers. Lucien

    Thank you very much Lucien for your review and constructive comments. You are correct about it being very tight at the top and right side. I will check the originals and see if anything can be done. Thank you again for your review my friend ~ Steve

An amazing painting to begin with and a beautiful photograph. The saturated colors look great against the black background and it sure should be a favorite in this contest. Good luck.

Hey Steve!
These graffiti artists are really artistic! I really like the image you have captured and that you have placed it in front of a black background, it makes the colors more impressive! Would be nice to go see them in person!

    Hey Brady,

    Thanks so much for your wonderful review and More Than Generous rating. The artists in Mexico are truly amazing and they always use bright colors that jump right out. Almost every garage door has a work of art on it. They are really incredible when seen in person. Thanks again Brady ~ Steve
