Here is pretty much the final version. I'm not a big fan of the color selection here, but I had no choice. The planters actually were my biggest challenge since I didn't use any 3d plants. So I think it could be better, but I will have to keep that in mind for next time.

wow you really did a good job! love the rock pillars!

He he, the cmu columns were actually the one thing that I cut from the existing photograph & pasted onto the rendering. It took a bit of work to get them all to look ok, since in the original most of them were blocked by trees & plants. I considered trying to render it using displacement, but I realized why should I go to so much trouble when I don't need to.

Great work Tim. I actually like the colors.

But it looks like the guy in the blue shirt is defying the laws of gravity.

Great render! Love the plants - are they CG?

Yea, you got a point there - not so good is it? What I do like about that guy though is that the blue shirt adds a color not otherwise seen anywhere in the rendering.

Zapcat: They aren't cg, just images composited in Photoshop. I was seriously considering doing 3d plants for this one & I wish I would have had time to test/learn some good plant software. I think it would have ended up giving a better result, but in the end there just wasn't enough time & money for me to get into that.

and how do you make quotes work right?

I manually remove the '="name"' from the code.

It's a bug with the BBCode, I guess.
