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.

For future reference, megapov's Clip_Colors macro can take care of this problem:

Lovely image though, the high-contrast photographic effect really lends realism!
