Ficus Leaf modeled and rendered in Lightwave3D

I need some environmental elements for a scene I'm dreaming up...where to start? I have a ficus tree right behind my desk and those leaves look interesting. Okay, I'll give it a shot.

Pretty straight forward but I liked the look of it. Used Lightwave's Depth of Field because I hadn't really experimented with it. With basic settings, the blur was fairly noisy, but I increased Maximum Samples to 32, turned on the Soft Filter and Adaptive Sampling. My Adaptive Sampling threshold was 0.01. Not sure if this makes sense but I added Photoreal motion blur with 6 Motion Blur Passes and it seemed to remove a lot of the DOF noise.

Oh, and one more thing that helped...under the Render Tab, I checked Noise Reduction.
