WOW, brian.. what an amazing flower! One thing that strikes me in your final render.. is i loved some of the previous renders more.. it just looks so out of place, like you took the magic wand tool to the flower and slapped it ontop of a picture of your backyard . Not trying to diss it, the floewr model itself is insanely good! Just i would of rendered it out with a bunch of other flowers, or from a different view, in a more realistic enviroment (in terms of where its placed). But i have to say... I AM PROUD! I was actually shocked you got a final in, no offence . Wonderful though , now i dont have doubt in ya .
As for you adl.. damn.. i dont know how long you worked in maya before hand.. but that flower is great! Too bad you couldnt of rendered out a image of the flower.. but otherwise.. great job .
The voting can start now.. as both final renders are in . I have voted.
