Description
Actually this was never supposed to be a scene at first, nor a work to be presented in the gallery :)
It started as a test with some models from the freestuff XFrog website. I imported the Dogwood model into Vue. - Well, to really see the plant it should be rendered in close-up and advanced light settings. So done.
Ah, I thought, let's add a butterfly or even better, the great dragonfly model I downloaded. New render, looking OK. (Now I was way past the turning point, and actually building a scene). Some duplicates of the plant, a few trees, a background eco and an imported HDRI map later, I was ready to render.
This was supposed to be a quick test, it ended as a 6 hrs. render!
Toolbox: Vue5I, XFrog & Photoshop (levels correction and DOF).

At first glance I would have sworn this was a photo.
