Over the weekend I processed a few images for my various, on-going art portfolios.  These series were influenced by the color interpretations of Monet's Haystack paintings, where he saw colors deeper within the scenes and painted them with a greater intensity that draws attention to them.

Most of my subjects originally appeared to have a simple, often muted color palette.  I enhance these subtle colors and  bring them to the fore by shifting the images into a more enhanced color profile in post-processing.

Here are a few samples:

This is for my Sidewalk series of symmetrical abstractions found by shooting straight down and bringing out the inherent colors later in post-processing.  Taken with a Leica M9 and 35mm Summilux lens at f/11.

This is from my architectural elements series and was taken with the Nikon D800 and 24-120mm lens.

From my Patterns of Nature series, this image of a cliff in Utah was taken with the Fuji X-Pro1 and the underlying colors later enhanced in post-processing.
