Poinsetta Flower

[Burpee]

I recreated an image of a poinsetta bloom that broke off of my plant. I put it in a vase sitting on a tablecloth and shot it from above. This is a vector recreation of the photograph.

I did not intend for realism but I used the horticultural leaf fill on almost all the petals and leaves. The texture really makes it look photographic. I'm actually partial to a more painterly effect but I didn't know how to make the petals look good without the bitmap texture. Even so, I'm very pleased with it. I was especially happy with the tablecloth even though I used alot less detail than the actual cloth.
