I even managed to find a bit of 'sticker art' on the Opera House...

Hi Rowan.
Very original and interesting composition.
I like this framing with this large wall,
The monkey is excellent and give a very good plus.
Good DOF too.
The b/w is a good choice for this compo.
Good job
Fred

Rowan, this one is a nice example for your ability to spot graphically appealing and slightly offbeat urban details and frame them into original photos. Having the wall with the sticker occupy two thirds of the frame is certainly daring, and I like how the shallow DOF was used at the left side to include some urban context with the highrises and the walking pedestrian. Looks good in b&w.

You have an interesting, graphical gallery! I'm glad you left a critique on one of my picture because I hadn't seen your pictures before.
This one is very clever and I'm surprised it didn't attract more attention. Graphical composition, good use of an "empty" surface with the sticker perfectly placed and giving a touch of humour, and good use of the shallow depth of field on the left (as perfectly explained by Norbert).
Well done!

Hello. Interesting and original picture. Very good idea and of course point of view. I like you direction of sharpness but the most important for me here is good eye and simplicity. good luck
