Found a nice graffity mural in Reykjavík. Shot it with an angle. Cropped it, auto levels, auto contrast. Cloned out few distracting spots. Adjusted brighness and contrast. Applyed image in multiply mode (60%).

This is a nice shot for the Abstract challenge. You have framed your subject well, and this is a nice crop. I like the splash of red, as well.
If there is a reason why this did not do better than it did, I suppose it is that most of the things I like about it are things that the painter of the image did. Yes, you chose what elements to include and where to place them in the frame, so it is a nice photo. But, it seems that rather than being an abstract photo, it is more of a photo of an abstract thing.
This is very nice. I like the splash of color, and the angle and framing/cropping are great as well. nice line placement and I like the diagonals. Not really much else to say. focus and clarity are really nice and I think that the lighting was in your favor. really good. i hope to see this up near the top this challenge. ~Heather~
