Graffiti Mono

[lfc1892]

Not sure if this really is landscape, but I guess it could qualify as urban landscape. I know graffiti generally is meant to be in colour, but occasionally the colours are putrid, in which case, I prefer to have them in mono. I liked the patterns in this but loved the central face. Took a fair bit of PP to convert it and to emphasise the face, but I quite like it. Thoughts and comments would be lovely. Thanks.

Ps to those who have already seen this in the landscape section, my apologies. It didn't get much feedback as I hadn't realised this more appropriate section existed.

I like this.

I'd like to see a colour version too though.
Would you be able to "mess about" with the colour version in PS?

i tried it with a desaturated version but it wasn't as good as mono as the colours are awful. took a lot of pp to get it technically correct with the lines on the roof etc and doing it all again in colour would take me forever again! if the colour were better i would do it but trust me, they ain't! will try to post a shot of the original scene if i can find it. many thanks for the kind reply and comments.

I dooooo like this.

Try cropping the foreground by 50% makes for a much stronger image IMVHO.

Many thanks to you all and glad you like the image. The crop with the foreground you suggested works too Dave, as do a few others, it's just a question of which you prefer. Many thanks guys.
