On the Verge

I have been fascinated for some time by the diversity of texture and form of the plants that grow on the roadside verges.

The problem for image creation is that all the leaves are green. However, with the latest selection tools in Photoshop it is possible to select individual leaves and treat them differently,

I am currently trying two approaches: black and white which emphasises texture; and, colour.

This is one of my first attempts using colour. I think the use of colour should allow me to illustrate the competitive nature of the enviornment.
