But I think that much to do with having a great texture in this kind of photographs is the light you had or the right exposure? I have seen that with hard light you good texture (given by the shadows) but also the colors are blown out.

I like your picture and post processing because it shows, a lot of texture but the colors are not blown out, you have a lot of gradientes here (detail in the color as well)....

Thanks a lot for sharing your post processing.

I had to admit that yesterday I thought it was an image composed by more than one picture, but I was puzzled, how you did the tree... The place is wonderful...
