Taipei Graffiti

Not sure if I got the colors right on this one and overshot my L adjustment.  Tried to correct it back but not entirely successfully.  The color issue is a curious one.  My hue clocks check out but there is a signficant color shift in the graffiti.  I'm not sure if the new colors are the accurate ones or I went wrong somewhere.

Brian,you brought out the colors on the wall and kept the texture.The colors going into the distance are nice(there's a bit of green back by the guy in the white shirt that's a bit radioactive,but that's a quibble)The sidewalk is neutral but they may point out color cast on the yellow car!Nice job.GregM,the other Greg.

Thanks Greg,  I kept getting blooms of yellow on the sidewalk that were hard to control at the same time that  I was trying to boost the saturation of the graffitti and I just couldn't get it masked out with any channel in CM.  I think in trying to control that yellow I might have color shifted the graffiti a bit (and even the sidewalk doesn't look entirely right to me).  I didn't notice it until I looked back at the original  I might try this as a "do over" and see if I can do a little better.

Brian,
The greens certainly are over the top...did you use the masking features for this one??  everything else looks ok.  The greens are way out there.

Here is my "do over" in three images.  The first is the original correction without the saturation boost. In the second I masked in Photoshop and then saturated.  The third is a mask created in CM (not sure which channel I finally settled on).
