Hi Rob, can you tell us a bit about how your picture was taken and where, etc.

Hi Ian, it was taken in Dublin beside the old City Arts Centre. I had noticed some interesting graffiti up there and decided to take a stroll up there to grab some shots. I really liked the piece and thought it look even better with someone walking past, so I waited... I think this was my second or third attempt as I didn't like the other two. It came out a little darker than I wanted, so I brightened it using PhotoScape. I think I also used the CrossProcess filter which would account for the cyan effect you noticed. I love road markings and thought it would look great included as well as it pointing in the direction the man had come from.

Cheers,
Rob
