Green Tiles

Perhaps visually too much going on? Perspective a bit wonky? Feel free to leave your thoughts and suggestions, and thank you for viewing my photo.

I like the idea, Bob. If it was me, I'd square it off if possible, but that's just me.

Bob I downloaded your image and tried a few things.
First thing that comes to mind is straightening the mortar lines.
Second is increasing the contrast; this allows the shadows to create more relief and makes the stone character more interesting, almost co-equal with the green line design aesthetic.

I would say this image would best exhibited alongside other similar examples and thus would provide a more contextual look and feel.

David and John R: Thanks. I'm still a neophyte with perspective-related tools, so this image will be a good source for training. I appreciate your input and great suggestions.

I do like this much better. Two things: If you tone down white a bit; and, if possible leave more on sides so the L shaped green area has more of itself in the picture space.
One thing I often do is to simply duplicate image and then sandwhich using the multiply or over lay feature, then change opacity to taste. This may help with toning down the white of the brick. But of course there other ways.

As usual, John nails it.

This version is much improved, IMHO.
I'm looking forward to the next iteration incorporating all of David and John's suggestions.  ;)

Thanks, Eric. Like so many of my photos, this one is a WIP (Work In Progress).
