Thanks so far.

I wouldn't say texture and color are more important than perspective any more than I would say perspective is more important than texture and color. Perspective affects color and texture; strong sidelight will highlight the textures, and morning light gives you different colors and contrast than daylight. It's all connected.

There's probably a point where it could get too busy, but you're not going to figure it out by thinking about it. Shoot, experiment, use different focal lengths.
