Default Mayan stone
This was a sculpture on the side of one of the temples at the resort we were at Vegas. I shot this mid day so the colors were very very bland. This was very simple really, I did an adjustment layer and boosted the contrast to 35. Next I used the curves tool (now that I'm not to scared of it, its a super cool tool) and adjust until the colors came out that i thought were ok. and then cropped out the sides

Exposure: 0.017 sec (1/60)

Amazing how a little post processing can turn a photo into a work of art!
