Hopefully the final version ;)
Everything is Pov-generated.
The wall uses a mixture of isosurfaces and Pov-generated meshes (using
Bill Pragnell's Meshrelief macro).
The asphalt was originally an isosurface, but it used too much memory so I
made a height-field from the isosurface. The asphalt texture was rendered
as an hdri because it became over-saturated if I anything else. I then
used normals to make the stony texture as a hi-res height-field would also
use too much memory.
The sunflower uses the Fibonacci sequence for the seeds. Leaves and petals
are hand-coded bezier-patches.
The bins are CSG with an agate normal for the dents.
Grass and weeds are placed using the method Jaime suggested.
Buildings across the street are done with my building macro.
Gutters are sphere-sweeps.
I used +a0.1 for anti-aliasing, but the contrast between the bright
background and the shadow side of the building seems to prevent proper
anti-aliasing. Not even focal blur helped, so I left out the focal blur
because then it takes days to render without much improvement.
Comments welcome.

Prety nice. Looks like there was a short shower not long ago.

The image looks great. I'm amazed that the leaves and petals are hand-coded!
They are really impressive.
I'm afraid to suggest any changes since this is the final version, but... It
might add an element of realism to put some cracks in the alley for the weeds to
grow out of... Just a thought...
Good luck with your painting.
Regards,
Dave Blandston

Thanks. I used a prism object texture to make the jagged edges of the
leaves. I think all the years of drawing beziers in CorelDraw have givin
me the ability to "imagine" how to do the bezier patches.

I would prefer it to actually look like it's completed :)
There are cracks I guess I am so used to the image, so I cannot see it as
anyone else would see it. The weeds are only in places where there is soil.

Strange, when I first read your comment I thought you meant a tear(crack)
in the asphalt. Then I realised you probably meant a teardrop on the
sunflower. Although that would be indistinguishable from a dew-drop. Or
maybe you meant both ;)

What it really needs is two flower-pot men. ;-)
And no I don’t expect anyone other than Dr John to get it.
Brill image btw.
