 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.

 Excellent job!!!

		| | Great, stark, simple image.  The E really looks trapped in that roofline.  This is, I think, the image in the challenge that most screams "this is a photo of an accidental letter"! |

 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.

   And here's an outtake.
