Mural

I love the peeling paint on this mural. I stood at a sharp angle so that the peeling is accentuated and the mural while recognizable has a mysterious component.

Nice texture...

BUT, and if you don't mind a suggestion, maybe up the saturation and contrast a tad? Make it scream?

What f did you shoot at?

If you wouldn't mind I'd like to tweak it a bit to show how I'd pop it..

The texture is very good though..

I like the shot charles but I agree it could do with a bit more color snap. Looks a little faded out on my monitor.

Faded and peeling go together. That is how it really is afterall. If it is more vibrant it becomes more abstract and less real. Might be better art but might not. And I can be completely in left field. Here is a more saturated version and you all tell me :D

Here's my tweak...

(I shrank the dimensions a tad to save space on my server..)

A little too strong for me...

I think I like WxWx's version the best for my monitor.. it's old and faded but a tad stronger visually.. I like the shot.

Thanks. Why don't you take a stab at it and/or take a look at the My 2nd, along side Sid's and Mac's variations. Did I up the sat too much? Should Sid have used more contrast? How about Mac's version? Like to get more of your thinking if you don't mind.
