Nope, no "brushing". I added my post processing steps to the photo description.

People wanted to see the entire building, so I posted a shot I took a year ago below. The photo I submitted was taken during the challenge dates.

Thanks Brad, I really admire your work. I'm glad you let some of the rest of us win for a change. :-)

Thank you, Dana, and thanks for the comment left on my self portrait. I really didn't expect this photo to do so well. I went to the park and took a ton of nature shots, but wasn't impressed with any of them. Then I drove downtown to look for some "letters" around the capital and I took "bluE-grEEn" right after I stepped out of the car. And that was it, didn't even walk over to the capital.

Here's a photo of the building I took a year ago. The building is located right across the street from the state capital in Sacramento, CA.

And here's an outtake.

I would make the center borders black and 1pt white lines inside - no blur. Very nice colors.

Hope you don't mind. Maybe try something like this...

Very nice, it's too bad the top of the jar opening is cut off.
