The artists who created these are talented and they are interesting to view. But why not try to use them as backgrounds to something happening in the street? There's skill involved in photographing works of art for catalogs, no doubt, but all the credit goes to the artist, and rightly so. On the other hand, if you incorporate a work of art into a composition of your own, you create something new. Just sayin' ...

OTOH, I don't necessarily think that the graffiti itself can't be a focus. I really like how you managed to keep the clouds in the sky as part of the shot, as they add a really interesting natural counterpoint to the urban-ness of the tagging. The lack of a traditional subject is kind of surreal!

Thanks. Two reasons. One: I was interested in the art itself. Two: it is in a rather off the way location, on a dead-end street and it was deserted!
