Hm. I think it looks rather pleasing, though I'm not quiet satisfied yet.
It might be the resolution. In RL you'd see refractions/reflection of the
moon,
not the moon actually lighting the droplets, and they do exactly that.
Perhaps
the angle causes this, with fresnel reflection and such. I'll see what I can
come up with. If it enhances the image, it'll stay in.

Thanks. That's what I hoped for, and I'm definitely not finished with it.
Right
now I'm rendering a "full version", with all updates till now, perhaps it'll
be a better basis for scrutiny.
