This is a snap is part of my street photography project.

Critiques and comments would be awesome.

Nice capture.
Just curious - I'm not sure I see including a "straight" photo of a painting - albeit street painting - in a street photography project. Maybe people walking by it, or observing it, or it being painted - or even if it were suffering from much "street abuse."
Just got to thinking about it.

A picture of them scrubbing off the graffiti would be good.

Interesting suggestion... I will to think about it. This is a project of Street "Portraits" as grafitti. I got some nice shots in summer in Ljubljana (albeit non Pentax) and I am collecting it for bigger collection which I interested to exhibit.

Its in the school complex. I this is one of series of legal works of some early teenage students (6-14 are in school). Its way better than white wall I remember when it was just bare Socialistic Realism Architecture. I actually like it.

It is a good capture. I like the colors, texture and your composition.
The project is interesting. I'd be even more interesting in the stories behind various pieces of grafitti if you could get any of the artists to reveal those stories.

Thank you. This project opens up lot of doors.

You talk about colors, texture and composition. Do you feel, it has a punch as picture?
I was wondering if I should punch colors in PP, but I like its natural coloring. I might comeback to reshoot in sunny day. It was pretty grey when I shoot it. I am still wondering about colors.
