Just an update.
I got the normals issue on the stem fixed (related to my post about "problem
with normals and stretched uv maps") and I've dropped using subsurface
scattering.
After putting in a drop shadow on the background I've been playing around
with the stem color and found, surprisingly, that I prefer the stems
non-transparent and colored after all. The saturated brown creates a nice
contrast to the gray shades and doesn't hog all the focus the way I had
thought.
I've attached both the top image at 100dpi and an image with the overall
composition of the 6 images.
I need to fix a few things still. One major question I haven't decided on
yet is - should the stems have some kind of leaves here and there...?
