 Shot on a whim when I got stopped by a passing train just after sunset. I was looking for the inspiration for the challenge and instead it found me.

Crop, despeckle, remove noise, unsharp mask, adjusted brightness,contrast,hue and saturation then resize for DPC. I am hoping the effect of bringing out the side of the train car with emphasize the impact of the subject which is of course the graffiti. Maybe this will be the shot to get over the next hump for me, "6".

I guess any graffiti is physical when you think about it.

I like this. The processing is edgy and vaguely 70s like, and it has a nice fit with the album.

O.K., but needs some drama, some interest. The graffiti here is just kinda normal old everyday graffiti.

Nice color contrast, a bit blurry but the graffiti is clear.

I like the perspective and color. Wish the DOF was a little deeper so the back part of the car was a little sharper.
