Ho do I cross the road? How do I get in?

I too like this Cedric - it is consistent with your oterh work and would attract me as I passed. The city is your theme.

With Cedric's permission, I took the liberty of interpreting this image as follows. A bit of a highlight on the graffiti "how?", a bit of a local contrast enhancement, B&W conversion and a slight vignetting added.

Hi Cem,

Your version is interesting because it drives the eye towards the graffiti which becomes visible and central.

In colored version, it's hard to see it first.

Regards,

Cedric.

Yes, Cédric, I gree..
I prefer the color version though - that looks to me having enough abstraction, and making it b&W is not adding anything.

A good one for your urban-serie, with a nice feeling of space.

I really like this image of yours, Cedric. Its well spotted and composed, I love all the angles of lines too, 'how' indeed.
The B&W version is by far the best for me, and is well suited to this type of image.

Hi Cedric,

I agree with Michael, I also prefer your colour version to Cem's (admittedly tempting) B&W version. All it takes is a subtle accentuation of the "How".

It indeed represents your style of photography.

Cheers,

I also prefer the colour version, but the idea of lightening the area around the "how" might work in colour too. Probably depends on how obvious you want to be.
