A Giant Tiger wall taken with my HTC One S. First is shot unprocessed... Unprocessed.jpg
I wanted it to look a little more dramatic. So this is the shot after post processing... Post.jpg
Steps...
1) desaturate
2) negative (I want dark mortar)
3) Adjust Hue, blue level, green level, to bring brick colour back
4) bring shadows down, up contrast, gamma down.
5) slight sharpening.
 
Stopped at red light by freeway underpass with walkway on top. North Seattle. No edits. Galaxy S4 stock camera app. Taken today. I wasn't driving, I was passenger :)

This photo was taken some days ago with my Xperia Z and is enhanced by Google+.
Throughout my hometown you will find these blue/white stones strewn across many streets in the city centre.

The wall outside the Live Music Hall in Cologne. The LMH is a club in Cologne where concerts are regularly held. People waiting in line have made it a sport to add there chewing gum to the wall.
 
Taken with my Galaxy S4 on HDR mode and edited on SnapSeed. The sun's rays hit one half of the wall perfectly during the sunrise this morning!

I headed into the neighborhood for this assignment and ran across a homeless neighbor we affectionately refer to as Silent Bob ("I'm no snitch!").
He insisted on showing me what he felt was the best brick in the neighborhood.

Hi.. This picture was taken using my Nexus 5. A child playing with the bricks near my neighborhood.

The punch effect has been added and cropped using the edit picture feature in N5.

Took this with my Moto G in beautiful Eugene, Oregon. A little bit of editing was done in the Photos app. Thanks AC!

Taken with my GS4. No filters added. I took this photo of graffiti on a big-bricked (ironically, there is also some graffiti of bricks) wall in Newtown, Johannesburg, while the bus I was on stopped at an intersection.
 
Better late than never, took this shot last night around dusk in the Central West End area (St. Louis), at a studio next to Left Bank Books. Used my Nexus 5 on the stock camera, HDR+ mode, with some HDR enhancing (Photos editing tools) post-shot.

Took this in my backyard with my HTC One M8. Enhanced the image by boosting the contrast and saturation using Google Photos to bring out the color of the bricks and the moss growing on them.
