The left screen on 3200x1200 has a lot of pixelation on the leaves... very incongruous with the sharp flower...

I love this. It's one of those surreal things you need a computer to get right.

No need to apologise. I was just curious. Thank you for the response.

As I have said before, I like it... But I just have a small question, In the single screen you have a full view of the flower, but in the multi screen (2560 x 1024) its zoomed in on a certain part. Is this for a reason or can it not be avoided? Because I miss the full look of the flower in the duel screens...

3360x1050 please Ryan :(

As mentioned by others below, the jpeg dual widescreen version has some pretty bad pixelation on the left hand size. Also, too much of the top of the flower has been cropped. A shame, as it's gorgeous looking composition.

While I think you went the perfect route with this picture for the widescreen versions, I think you didn't do yourself enough justice and cut out too much of the tops of things in the middle of the flower which were nicely done.

The focus on the 5760*1080 is terrible. The outside monitors look pixel-ated and broken. The center image cuts off the best part of the flower, the kola. The bottom half of the flower we do see is out of focus. I'd rate this 5/10 because the triple monitor version turned out terrible.

I like the color and the presentation. It is hard to tell whether or not it is a photograph!



When you get a chance, post the 3360x150 resolution. Then I can very proudly display it on my dual monitors!



Thanks for all you do!

There was a little pixelation in the lower left corner of the single screen render, but there's a lot more in the dual screen one.

3360x1050 is missing

5760 x 1080 Triple screen?



Looks good!

Missing this resolution?

Your texture for the flower petal must be a little too low of resolution for this render. I also feel like there is too much cropped from the top. Other than that it looks great.

I have no problem with cropping to make a better picture instead of adding extra information.



I do see a lot of pixelation on the petals on the left hand side of the screen in the dual screen 2560x1024.

This would make an awesome print!

So softly beautiful... if I didn't know better, I would have thought it was a real flower. Just spectacular!

Ryan you are outdoing yourself here! I love it! Keep it up!

I love this one! The blurring makes it feel a bit more real, as opposed to something that is too clear. Although a slightly larger DOF wouldn't go amiss. I feel like there are details we are missing due to the blur.



This one will be on my desktop for a while!



Thanks for the great work again Ryan!

You can look at it and almost forget that this synthetic. With the way you made a focused part and a blurred part… Very beautiful and soothing …

Wow - love the parts of the petals that are in focus, iridescent, with a ridged surface reflecting the light, and with an organic looking soft edge.

Really cool indeed! I love the many details. Though, I personally think a version with a slightly larger DOF would be even more amazing, as more details were visible then.

Stunning Colors and detail! Love it. DB is Innovating..

The detail on this is amazing Ryan, well done.

Grate it's look like a photo

This is so detailed, I had a hard time believing it wasn't a photo. I had to keep checking -- yep! DB! I like it -- and I also like the color variations, though the blue is my favorite. Potential rainbow bouquet for some other creation... Thanks, Ryan!

This image is so real. I love the attention to detail and the realism of the flower. AMAZING work (as always)!

My favorite part is actually the petals, so realistic, awesome angle!!

This looks incredible as the lock screen image on my New iPad. I just think "wow" every time I turn it on! Thanks.

Looks like photo to me! Nice job. :D

Beautifully done. Love the photo realism.

Wouldn't mind seeing a version with more abstract coloring.

How about something besides blue and red, something from the middle of the spectrum?

That looks awesome ryan ! Although I'm not big on flowers I must say that you've done an incredible job. As always.

Not one of my favorites..sorry

And yes WOW! Love the color selection and the composition. Awe inspiring!

There are a few of your florals that I absolutely love - California poppies and Cloverscape come to mind. But this is the best one yet - almost like a macro shot of a real flower. Wonderful job!

I love this render! The color is nice and soft. As my iancee says, "A very soothing PC wallpaper." I agree. There are times when bright and bold is the MOD. Ever thought of a Yellow & Brown combo?

Will the multiscreen capture all the petals of the flower?

Ryan, you've excelled yourself this time. It's simply amazing with the level of detail. Please get the dual screens of this ready soon!



Have you thought about doing a whole colour collection of this one? It might suit really well to some not often used colours, yellow, white/black mix etc.

This is just "wow"!!! Version three looks much better, thanks for that! I can't wait to see this one turn up on my big screen... reminds me of summer days, and I really need some warm sunrays after all those cold days!

I really like this one. The bright colors are great, and of course the amazing level of detail. I think this one is my new favorite of 2012 so far. Thanks for the great work!

Looks like a real flower. Love it.

The new focal point feels a lot better. Thanks for adjusting it! I'm still curious about the pixelation. Is it intentional? Just a symptom of not taking forever to render?

I've been wanting a flower background for a while now, and you combined pink with a flower... that's enough to overtake Cobalt Daisy in my flower favorites list. Thanks, Ryan!

Beautiful. Simply, beautiful. Thats all i got to say nice job

It's been far to long since I have commented on your work. I used to avidly comment on every new piece. I have noticed some work in the past has felt a tad "grainy" Most recently noticed in the RedFern image that was done. Something I noticed with the sunlight coming through the tree's. I still loved the image though. This one however everything looks sharp and beautiful. I am looking forward to seeing other versions!

It's a great picture!

Will you also make it available in 640x480? I'm asking because this is the resolution of my new BlackBerry Torch ;-)

First off, I really like this. When I first got into photography I was mainly doing macros of flowers. And I have loved your work since I received membership to your site for Christmas.



A few things I noticed: The peddles in the bottom left corner are pixelated. Looks like it didn't finish rendering or something. I'm guessing this isn't intentional. Also, the depth of field is nice but I feel like it's confusing my eye, not making it easy for my eye to rest at any one spot. The focal point near the top of the image feels uncomfortable.



All that said, it hasn't stopped me from using this as my latest background.

i love this one!!!!, pickle jar version as well :)

I really like the detail of the petals with the jagged edges and imperfect lines. Just like plant life does. The shallow focus lends to a macro-photo, giving this even more photo-realistic qualities. I've read other peoples comments on the 'blur' of foreground and backgrounds of some of your images but I really like how you have been using that technique. It's a great imagery tool to give depth (so to speak) and focus a viewer’s eye on the subject of the image.

Keep up the great work.

If that's OK with you... ;-)

Awesome image, as usual, Ryan
