 I took this picture while walking around San Francisco's Haight Ashbury. I love the combination of the water meters and the graffiti. The processing I decided to keep very minimal, I enhanced the color saturation slightly, sharpened, added a border & saved for web.

Hi Stephanie, greetings from the Critique Club!

First of all, welcome to our insane family of DPC :)
You will have a lot of fun here, for sure!

Regarding your photo:

Composition / subject
The subject you chose is really appealing and vibrant, you can feel the colours jump at you on the screen. However, the fact that you took the picture sideways takes much of the potential impact of it. The water meters add a new subject and point of interest, but they would be better if they were straight on.

Processing
Nicely done, minimal and effective, you really brought out the details in it.

Overall
A 36th place is a very good result, more being your second challenge.
Keep them coming!

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Joao
