Excellent abstractness. The cigarette in there makes it perfect and the russian-styled typo is really working here.

Thanks a lot. As a fact I thought that the letters had some military-eastern europe roughness... I just left the red and the yellow in the pic to make it more essential, more graphical (the original had a strong blue-ish cast). And yes, I would have had to invent that cigarette butt or some other element to create a color-matched pair with those red letters...

Great lines. I am sitting here wondering if it is a partially colored image, or it's actually taken that way. The fact that I can't tell is a very good thing....it makes me think. I love the cigarette butt...such a small little detail, yet it adds so much to the overall image. The red against the background practically makes this image scream. Very nice work!

thanks a lot as a fact it is partially (de)colored -selective desaturation, I just left the red and the yellow. and 'scream' for the red sign is definitely the right word... I liked its raw appearance on the white paint on the grey concrete (actually the first version had a blue-ish cast which I totally removed). and without that cig I would have had to invent something...

For me the cigerette distracts from the piece, I think i would want to see something larger, or have it more centered. I'm just being critical though, its another nice shot.

thanks wouldn't have taken it without that cig... plus is a touch of color (actually I left just the red and the yellow)

thank you so much. as a fact, besides the red of the sign, I just left the yellow color because of that cig -anyway I think the composition would have been too static without it. plus it reminded me a bit of those compositions with various materials... I meant it very much on the 'painting' or 'collage' side.
