I like the way you positioned this shot with the colorful wall against the grey sky and urban scene. Nice DOF and light.
Cheers

Stunning image. I love the contrast between the heavy dark clouds over the city and the colourful grafitti in the foreground...yet the grey bellows seem to persist through the picture over the city as seen. Excellent! Well seen.

t vision in spotting the potential of this scene. Also like the interpretations that this has enabled others who have critiqued the photo i.e. "2 realities". Guess sometimes photos don't always have to answer the Q's but present a Q to the viewer for their own interpretation. This is why I like this so much, even the clouds mirror the art, well done. Rog

Hi Matthew.
This picture seems to me really great,it's exactly wath I wanted to say in my picture Fictions. Sometimes you're in the right perspective to see how fiction and reality are superimposed..

Hi Mattiew,

Good eye to notice this concept: two world overlapping each other: real world above and art world below. Only pitty that the wires distract the attention. I'd enhance the contrast a bit and maybe add a suitable frame.
