Obviously you were going to tremendous texture effect. And you for sure got that here. I find the red is just almost blinding with the other softer more muted tones. I understand your wanting to capture this scene all in one, but I think sometimes to simlify something is a bit better. This is just a bit busy, but I think I would have liked it much more without the red plant..I am wondering if the poinsetta is growing there, or is a plant in a pot put there.
I can't imagine them both growing in the same area. I am also very surprised that cactus grows in Canada..but I suppose anything is possible....Verena
This is a monster of textures and very well grounded by the stone and rock. And the bright red just feed the well done confusion. I like this one.. Keeponclick'n and be encouraged.. Joe
