Description
I dedicate this one to my Mother.
Each year, near summer, my mother gets a "flower-trip", putting plants in pots everywhere. It looks fantastic, but it certainly doesn't make walking on the terrace easy :)
This one started out as a study in texturing and soft lighting. I think it ended up pretty good :)

Great study of texturing. Tell me a thing, Thomas, how much are of these textures procedural and how much are images mapped ? PS I have seen your photo on the home page... you are just as I imagined you. BRAVO, BRAVISSIMO!!! Ciao.

Well done Thomas..I see absolutely nothing wrong with the scale of the plants, as some of the varieties shown grow quite tall, some of the pots are large, but large pots are commonly used in some places, at least in the tropics where I live. Well done!!!

Good Lord! Thomas, this is awesome. What else can I say, everything else had been said.

Of course nothing left to say!! Your story reminds of when my son was young and I asked him what my last name was. He said.. Sue... digging garden! Wonderful tribute, Thomas!

Thomas I just ran across your work trying to get some answers to my own Vue/Mac problems. First off I thought hey this guy's got a really nice touch when it comes to light and texture. Then I saw your picture and how old you were. (Insert jaw dropping to the floor.) You've got a sense of visual awareness way beyond your years. I just wanted to encourage you to be a sponge when it come to visual communication of all styles, photography, CGI whatever. Keep learning the language of light and composition. You have a wonderful gift. -jay
