We have a lot of talented graffiti artists in our city. Verno

Graffiti is very interesting to me, it always fascinates me how they can do it with just a can of spray paint.

Are you interested in any kind of critique? The shot is good, but I think it would help to burn in some of the unimportant areas of the scene (foreground pavement, sides of buildings without graffiti on them). It just seems like there's a lack of shadow in the shot.

Hi Mike. This is exactly what I saw that day, but you have a point in adding some shadow. I thought the shot looked a little flat. Verno

Wow; the Esher globe from the perspective that I see it at is awesome. These guys are good for sure.

Verno, I did a quick+dirty burn job on it, so just let me know if you want me to post it up.

I don't know Mike, somewhere in between maybe, thanks for the input, I'm always learning. Verno

No problem, try it out for yourself and see what you come up with. Dodging and burning can be one of the simplest, yet most effective things you can do in PS... true story.

Hey Mike, I know about dodging and burning, and use it quite a bit when I want to selectively darken or lighten a shot. You are so right in saying it is one of the most effective tools in PS. In this particular shot I think you may be right in saying that more shadow could be added, but I think just a bit too much burn for me, but I really appreciate your input. Verno

You're welcome Verno.
