Mayfest provided the image. I would have liked to have made the image
bigger to get more detail, but there were budget constraints.

Using grays with colors is often tricky. The grays, being in the center
of a color cube, often overpower all of the colors and actually wash out
the image too much. Sand Green does a similar thing.

Fortunately for this image, the colors seemed to balance out pretty well.

Upping the bar with the color, eh?  It really looks great; did the Mayfest
people provide the image, or did you find one on your own?  The choice of POV is
awesome, and the green fields, paths, and people in the foreground really add to
the overall effect.

In fact, I think if it had been all buildings/skyline, the colors would have
been wasted, but with the image you used the colors work perfectly.
