Thanks for the feedback.

I have to acknowledge that the length of the trunk is a bit short. I'll 
try to get that improved. The four islands are essentially the same tree 
on the same cloud drifting in the sky. Translation and rotation do the 
trick.
Anyway, it took a long time to get it just right. Initially, all the 
leaves  had the same color (this appeared to be due to shadows) and 
there were dark streaks on the clouds. Rendering took forever. Last 
night I moved the sun a bit more downwards. That reduced the rendering 
time to just over 4 hours and improved the general quality of the 
picture. When I get a satisfactory scene I'll turn on +A0.3 and make a 
desktop sized image.
