About the Image(s)
While walking around Porto, my attention was drawn to this colorful graffiti and the rough texture of the old stone wall. I waited a few minutes for people to enter the frame to add scale and human connection, and reinforce the energy of Porto's urban streets.

Waiting for the people worked well, and they looked your way, but not enough to be a problem. You stopped them at just the right spot to reduce the focus on the graffiti on the right and increase the focus on the main graffiti. The well done graffiti and the arched frame for it works very well. Posted: 07/08/2026 02:51:57
Hi Mel,
This is a wonderful street image. The photo is well framed and the colors really pop. You certainly achieved your purpose of adding scale and the human connection. Patience is a must for photography and especially street photography ...you were able to grasp the `decisive moment '!
