I have no idea how you achieved the colors in the image, but I'm liking them. Great textures in the BG stones. There is a lot going on here (left and right),but it is well balanced.

Oh, my goodness, John, this just jumps right out and pulls you in. The composition is superb--and the colors of the moss, and the texture, and the light. Well, well, well.

This is just super, John. There is something that unifies the entire image--can't put my finger on it for sure but it may be the texture throughout (in the bricks of the planter, the stone wall, the rough bench--and makes this just jump right off the screen at you. Composition is perfect and you have described it so well yourself. Very good luck with this one.

john did you use an artistic filter to bring out the texture or is this how it actually was????
|

|
|

|
John Caruso |
Hey Justin-- I used a circular polarizer--that really brought out a lot of the color and texture. Furthermore, the light was just perfect, giving me the richness that I really like in this photo. Finally, the moss really worked against that stone and complimented the purple of the flowers very nicely. I hope that helps!

Glad to see this as your favorite in the Countdown thread, John. I am enjoying revisiting it and catching up on the discussion. I would really have thought you used more photoshop effects here--neat to know that these colorful results are pretty much natural. Good luck with this or any other :)
