i am ill and have to stay at home, so i play a bit arround and tried my first nature study.
Well its far away from realism, but i like it…the stalk (hope its the correct term) is a bit flat

post production in gimp (color and contrast, highlights on waterdrops)
defocus by camera limit and empty
only one texture for the leaf - i know way too much geometry, i reduce it during the modeling process
For the lightning i used a hdr pic. and 4 planes with emitter material
Very nice! Not too realistic but that doesn’t really matter. I’d say the lower petals look a little square. Everything else is great though! You also nicely added the branch. There’s a slight protrusion from the main stalk where the branch comes out which makes it more natural.
Yeah 37 petals, but its not boring - just take a lot of time…maybe it works also for an animation - rose fall down some of the petals fall off…droplets maybe to small, glass material with ior 1.33 and absolut white - after rendering they look black, so i added white highlights in gimp (airbrush)
Lovely! Great work. I can think of only one constructive comment…based on the weight of the head of the flower, it should be lying a little flatter on the surface of the table (so the petals would be squashed a bit). Put it in a vase, though, and it would be perfect.
