Thanks for the comments.
I guess I was impressed with The Nature Academy videos.
All I am willing to do in Blender these days is nature related.
The wheat bitten by frost, I should say.
It is created with arbaro, rendered in Blender.
Frost is a magic of the Blender particle system and modifiers.
Used the guidance of a tutorial for superb material and lighting conditioning.
DOF makes it look more dramatic. Added some glare and lens flare with GIMP.

That is excellent Kit. Looks so real with the light shining through it.

That is unbelievable Kite. You're really getting along with Blender - makes me want to get back into it.

k1tesseraena: i'm stunned. usually i don't like blender images as pictures - i get impressed by their accuracy and fascinated by how they can be made, but they rarely capture my imagination,which is what i most of all want from a picture. this one does! it's just beautiful, there's a lovely feeling about it and it doesn indeed look like wheat stems covered with a thin layer of frost. well done k1te!
