Challenge: Free Study 2007-01 (Advanced Editing V)
Camera: Canon PowerShot SD400
Location: Austin, TX
Date: Jan 8, 2007
Aperture: 4.6
ISO: Unavailable
Shutter: 9.3
Galleries: Cityscape, Urban
Date Uploaded: Jan 8, 2007

 There is a small area relatively hidden from view in South Austin where neighborhood kids have been granted a city permit for painting on the walls of a drainage creek. As soon as I saw this wall, I knew I had to have this shot.

Editing was relatively minor. The biggest step was a selective desaturation to isolate the blues from the array of other colors (as I found all the other graffiti colors too "busy" for this kind of composition), then using dodging and saturation brushes to correct minor blemishes. Resized and border added. I hope you guys enjoy!

Nice shot. I like the selective desat but I think an urban shot would look better with all the colors. Good job though.

I like the blue its too bad you could not remove the blue at the right hand top of the picture I think it would have stood out more, also I like the reflections in the puddles

The whole selective desat thing stopped being cool five years ago. ;-)
