This sort of paint job is not very common in my neck of the woods, but at the last possible minute, I took a walk around the neighborhood. Of course, to assist with the no-bright-colors was the not-visible-sun.
It was an interesting exercise to look at my neighborhood as if it were the tropics. I walked around for about an hour, and quite surprisingly, I ended up with 7 viable options! Wouldn't you know it - this image is from the building right next door.
convert from raw
crop and straighten
pro contrast
vibrance
hue/saturation
a little dodging
save for web

Cory: nope, didn't touch the leaf or anything else in this image. I actually considered moving the leaf up just a tish so we could see the "e", but I decided a little mystery worked better :-)
