    Oor Wullie bucket trail

    30 or so of different painted Oor Wullie dotted around Dundee, this is one of them.
    Not my usual genre, critique and advice is welcomed.

    I like the near symmetry of the composition but I don't feel you need quite so much foreground tarmac. Overall the whole image seems a good stop underexposed with the histogram well to the left making it tonally a bit flat and muddy.

    I see the logic in having the background darker but overall Wullie needs a bit more light and the background a bit more bite

    A quick play about with levels, the overlay blend mode and a bit of dodging and burning gave me this...

        Nice and Nigel's edit works well as Willie stands out better but, as good as the symetry is, I'm afraid my OCD won't let me get over that he's not central.

        Cheers,
        John

          John, I'm surprised that your OCD didn't pickup on the slight left to right slant on the horizontal lines as well Over all a nice image and well edited by Nigel
