The murals are part of an art project in one of Honolulu's neighborhoods. This particular building had some nice symmetry. I did not alter the artist's murals (although the whole photo has some extra saturation added - the original is already quite colorful so not much was added).
I used composition to emphasize the abstract in this street photo. The rectangular strip of sky is echoed in the sidewalk, parking, and street strips at the bottom. The photo was also cropped to (loosely) use a golden mean (twice) curve beginning at the windows above each door and curving out from their with two comparable curves and proportions. Bright colors were also used to emphasize the structure of the photograph. I used a hues selection to adjust the colors so complementary colors appeared in the composition.
I don't know the name of the original artist or artists (so I can't add an attribution). There are many of them in this neighborhood, working with the business owners.
The title of the photo comes from the name of one of the companies inside this building. The lettering/signage is original to the building. It should be obvious, but in case it is not, the duplicate set of eyes on the face in the center is also original to the artwork, not a modification by me.
