I like this but I think It needs a bit of punch to bring out the colours more. Also croped to get rid of any distractions.

Hi Richard,
I did think of a tighter crop but decided to leave as is.
What did you do to make it punchier? I like what you did by they way.
Regards

increased contrast and saturation will bring out the colours.
My first reaction was to crop out the Distractions to. Much better.
Try high contrast B&Ws too. Often works for graffiti

I have P.S Elements 7 and all i did was open a JPEG as a Raw file and just played around with Exposure,Contrast,Clarity & Saturation until desired effect is reached. It's surprising what can be done, just know when to stop.
Try it

Personally I like the little path and ribbon of grass at the bottom, and background of trees at the top, especially in the first. Very prosaic.
What would set these shots off perfectly would be a passer-by in front of the fence, someone whose demeanor contrasted with the colourful artwork!
Not sure about the processing though, the colours seem a bit unnatural.

You're probably right, I did'nt expect it to be perfect all I was trying to do was to show that the image would look better if the colour stood out more. Trial and error is the only way to find out what the individuals preference is.

Thanks for the comments will have a play, also visit the area with a "model" (OK grandson)when the ground has improved.
The area is muddy, and very wet large puddles around plus they are putting in different play areas for the children.
