Blender, Cycles, PS CS6. 8 or so hours total work time.
The full resolution found below the image should definitely be checked out

awesome lighting, really really good. 8 hours very well spent 
I’m not sure what style you’d call that but I like it. The lighting really shows off the details.
just 8 hours! very nice image.how was the lighting done?
Thanks guys 
The lighting was a HDR environment with the mapping changed to align the sun correctly, and some brightness/contrast and add node for the strength value for sharper shadows.
looks good!:yes:
