Magnolias in Boston Back Bay (Posterized)

Tonight I decided to do a little post-production editing on the image that I posted here yesterday, early magnolias in bloom in Boston's Back Bay. In the original photo, I noticed some interesting light rays (probably reflected from the window) and I thought posterizing might enhance them. I also wanted to make those magnolias a little more noticeable, because they deserve it. So I used iPhoto to add saturation and lighten the shadows. Then I used Painter to posterize the image, experimenting with the amount of posterizing effect until I got the look I wanted.
