Here's my latest creation, still needs a little tweaking. Everything is in real world scale.
The ant was from turbosquid.com, the clover was a model I made.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Edit: I know about the clover stem going throught the ant. He will be moved in the next version. Wireframe view would be great for placement. Wink Wink Planetside.

Great idea, well executed. I love off the wall images.
A bit of variation in the clover would help, i.e. size/shape/colour.
Please post further work.

Cool idea.

Slight displacement applied on vegetation might help too

Finished rendering another version. This one has fog and have played with clover placement and size.
However, I did notice a couple of spots where the clover leaf didn't render, will have to export the model again, see if that helps.

I feel the clover leaves are too flat and straight, perhaps you could work on that? It would add a lot to the realism of this scene...

Finally got around to modifying this scene. Made a blade of grass and changed the clover a little.
Rendered bigger 2400x1800 in around 25.5 hrs, 100% TG2. Minor levels in PS after saving as exr.
