The Wild Graffiti of Valparaiso

Yes, this is HDR but it needed it to do justice to one of the many examples of street art throughout this city. We literally did a graffiti tour -- amazing examples where graffiti artists are respected for their craft and property owners are happy to have them paint the sides of their homes. Here's one of Junko's examples: http://365project.org/jyokota/365/2014-12-15

LOVE the way your photo makes the viewer feel you should put on your sunglasses when you see this graffiti wall -- because we really DID have to do that! Such a FUN memory of the walk! FAV for how you used HDR to show all of it -- even the shadowy parts that don't show up in my photos.

Oh wow Taffy, what a fantastic sight. You must be having a ball there, pity it's so far from Oz, looks like somewhere I'd enjoy too. IMHO I think HDR is the very best technique to show this cascading kaleidoscope of colour. Fav for me.
