1. in what area is critique to be sought?
Idea, composition/framing, post-processing.
2. what one hopes to achieve with the piece of work?
To convey a sense of emptiness if it succeeds as a photo, but otherwise to do a simple touristy snapshot of one of the countless graffiti one can expect to see when touring around European countries.
3. under what circumstance is the picture taken? (physical conditions/emotions)
Honestly speaking it wasn't a planned shot. I was walking around Amsterdam and came across this graffiti on the wall, and decided to take a shot of it. However, I did put some thoughts into the framing, and tried to make it better during post-processing.
4. what the critique seeker personally thinks of the picture
I think the bike and the arrow sign do not really contribute to the emotions that the message says, but I didn't have much of a choice as these were the only elements present in the scene. Further right of the message is the main road which will add too much clutter to the image.
Thank you for viewing!
