Hey, this was my entry into Blenderguru’s latest photorealism competition. It isn’t as photorealistic as I hoped but I had a lot of fun with this project.

I think there should be more translucency to the caterpillar, have you tried SSS? Other than that minor point excellent render! 
Thanks UKNOWHO! No, I didn’t get a chance to experiment with SSS, but I agree it would have made an improvement. Thanks for the feedback
The leaf could use some transparency as well. Looks like concrete. But pretty good overall.
Love that charming piece. The lighting, modelling and texturing are great.
I specially like the butterfly wings shader.
I agree that the leaf is to opaque but the image looks great overall!
+1 on what’s been said. I really like the concept. Well done.
Thanks for the comments and critique guys, really appreciate it :). I totally agree with your comments on the density of the leaf, I knew there was something that didn’t look quite right An aspect I can keep in mind to improve my future projects.
I love this image!! :yes: The textures are so detailed, as well as the models! Great job
