Woot, very nice models, render and i like the idea very much.
Only one critic, the grass. Maybe you could expand the floor in the shadow area under the fence to cover.

Congratulations and cheers, mib

Main 3D software - Autodesk Softimage 2011 SP1

5 lights - 271MB/881MB used - reached 4000 samples in 5 hrs - on multi GPU GTX295 - only last image is scaled down.

Actually the competition has been extended for two more weeks (because of the new version coming out next week). It just hasn't been officially announced in this thread.
