I was at the park and noticed the perfect lineup of green, blue, and red, with a little white in the corner. I only had my iPhone, so I snapped the photo, imported it into Aperture to crop out a few extraneous things. Then imported it to an iPad app that allows me to use selective coloring. Imported it back to Aperture to fine-tune the brightness and this is what I ended up with. Artistically, not that great, but just the unexpected lineup of the three primary colors I thought was fun (til it was pointed out green didn't 'fit' for primary colors -- oh duh!!).

Thank you so much! This really was a case of 'spotting' it and then snapping. I've noticed since then that without the blue car, it's really nothing. In hindsight, I can't believe how lucky I was that the blue car parked exactly as it did at the exact moment I looked over at a very common sight here. The red dumpster has been there for weeks since a water heater exploded in a six flat (no one was hurt, thankfully), but our house -- a block away -- shook!

Thanks for visiting! Jackie, it's ironic, but after all the fiddling, when I put the original and edited ones next to each other, the main thing is I cropped out the tail end of a car on the right. So, a lot of fiddling for not much happening. @busylady Judith -- duh!! I can't believe in my excitement of the three colors looking so great, I totally overlooked that I needed a yellow fountain, not a green one!! So, I changed the title since I don't know how to do selective coloring and change the green to yellow. Thanks for the good catch!
You could call it 'Color Wheel' that way you have the two primary colors and the one secondary color covered. Nice line up and good catch! And wow- I'm impressed with all that importing and processing!
@jyokota Mmmm...sellable? That would be a step beyond 'viewable', right? @olivetreeann I thought it was a great idea! I love that the site changes the title automatically on everything!
Oh very cool!! My first instinct was "Huh? What is she going for here?" Then I read the description and was instantly going "OH Cool!" haha Nice one :)
