I especially love the little spider web in the corner! Really gives it a realistic feel!
Wonderful, realistic and beautiful. 5 stars
Amazing work, the lighting is so real…do you mind sharing a little info on how you did it?

Absolutely stunning!!! Fantastic work!!! It is the best work I have seen here yet!!! Amazing, I hope to one day have the skills to produce such a realistic work, but I doubt I ever will.
A lot of praise for your work in this thread, so I am almost scared to point out small things that does not look right. Photography with antique cameras, that do not automatically adjust settings for the user like today’s cameras do, used to be a hobby of mine.
The flowers on the branch that the hummingbird and bees are working on, have some slight white edges around the petals, and the not yet formed flower buds on that branch have the same effect, a white glow around them. They should be more pink in color, too sharp contrast. The branch that holds the flowers and buds is highlighted on both the top and bottom of the branch. The background makes me think the lighting is coming from the top right corner which would shade the bottom of the branch.
It’s a great peace of work, one you should be very proud of!!! It’s better work than I can do. I only offer you what I have learned from photography. And trust me, if I shoot 72 pictures of a hummingbird and get one good one I am happy. They are very hard to photograph. I would be happy if I took that photo!!!
Great work, it deserves 6 stars…not 5, but 6 stars…stellar work

Congrats on the most beautiful banner I’ve seen in my time around BA! A really impressive work!
ramps!
wow, you did well, im not into ramps but what a good use. any liight setups?
Hello ionee, my light setup is very simple, 2 light Hemy and point light
i have created in gimp my background whit volumetric light
2 step have rendered my scene with 2 point light, first the branch “and in gimp have utilizzed gausiian blur for simulated the dof”
3 step use in the background image my result and use another branch, “in gimp i use the gaussian blur to simulate the dof”
4 step use in the background image my result and i rendered the final composition
5 step i use the final composoition in the background image to render the bee with another setup light!!
you got to submit that to cgsociety.
