Default Light Spectrum

Took this the other morning. Light was shining through the front door onto a piece of sticker paper backing. I tinkered with the black levels, contrast, and among others, saturation.

What's the best way to get the most from this type of photo?

First is before, and second is after LightRoom.

What a fun image. It has some great abstract qualities and I think that's the way I would go with this; to try to obscure the details and emphasize the design qualities. Here is my take on your image, you may like it different.

Seems I don't have permission to view this photo...?

I like the way you really brightened up the different color bands. Very bold and not hard to find each one. Would you mind sharing how you came to this and what program you used?

Thanks!!

I re-edited the photo to try and get a better looking photo. What do you think of this one? I also did some spot removal as there were some distracting spots in some of the color bands.

I don't have any advice, just wanna say I dig it!

I like abstracty shots like this, that emphasize composition more than subject. Very cool.
