It's a pity that you did'nt enter !
Maybe it could be better if the cobbles were worn and optionally wet,
because that makes me think more of a wall than a pavement.
Anyway, good job and very poetic ! love it !

Excellent!

One strange thing, though: some of the cobbles seem to merge (lower left;
upper middle). That is certainly not natural!

Realistically, the cobbles should be worn smoother than this as they've 
had people/horses/wagons/cars/whatever on them for X years (and if 
they're old enough, lots of rain). And as someone else pointed out, some 
of the stones appear to be merging together. Other than that, they look 
great.

That leaf could use some shine.

don't be surprised if you find more unnatural things around you if you look 
closely :-)

Thanks Jim.

The problem with the leaf is that I'm using a bicubic patch with an 
image/bump map of the leaf on it, with alpha channel for transparency. 
When I put some positive specular, the whole square patch shows up...

Therefore I think I need to make it look more decayed perhaps...

As I was telling Jim, the way I modeled the leaf does not let me put 
some shiny finish on it, or the whole bicubic patch is visible...

Thanks for your comments :)
