Love this shot. Great composition with the leading lines taking the eye to the message. Nice positioning of the couple (glad it was a couple and not a single person). Choosing to make it black and white has removed any distractions caused by colours and leaves just the lines and the texture which works beautifully. My only suggestion would be to slightly bring out the texture a bit more in the top right corner so it is slightly more obvious. Lovely image - Well done
The blur of the model and her pose gives a soft elegance which works wonderfully well with the beautiful mural as a backdrop. The red from the balloons grabs the viewers attention and then the hint of red from the shoes brings your eye down so that you really look at the person before looking at the whole image. Really nicely done.

**This contest is open to photographers ranked between 1 and 250 in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** Graffiti remains controversial, even though Banksy’s street art has brought a new cachet and air of respectability to the genre, along with a lot of collectors’ money. Graffiti ranges from simple ‘tags’ of the artist’s name, or slogans daubed on walls, bridges and the like, through to elaborate and stunning murals, sometimes with a social or political theme. Shooting work for this contest offers the photographer a good reason to trawl their local town or city looking for interesting street art, in interesting places.
