1.34 - "Snap Shot" 

NIKON Z 5 ƒ/6.3 1/320 240mm ISO400
Taken in Chattanooga TN at an abandoned building.
The reason I took this specific area of the building is because of its different colors, lines and textures. Looking for that street grunge look. I took down the saturation of the greens so the bush wouldn't draw your eye and I enhanced the blues, reds and oranges in Lightroom. A bit of sharpening and vignette also.

I do like the idea of this image, and I'm sure I would have photographed it too for it's oddity, textures and color.
The treatment of the bush, in my opinion, (for what it's worth and it's not much), is a bit awkward as I see green, grey and orange leaves and stems. I think had the bush desaturation been uniform I would have never noticed and voted 3 stars.
Alternatively, from my artistic perspective (totally subjective), I think I would try turning the bush either pure black or pure white and see what that looked like.
