Thanks Sean. No, I do not want an 'Escher' ;-) I just draw my 
inspiration from different sectors. However, the sky could certainly be 
brighter and is on my todo list. Concerning the ripples, I looked at the 
photograph and thought that 'shivering' aspect of the water really neat. 
I will need to scale down the effect still more however.

The leaves are a challenge and not trivial. I am working on a solution 
using two trace points per leaf (for a start) and see how it goes. I 
need also to concern myself with the collision aspect. I shall dig 
through my collection of third party code as I remember a couple of 
examples from the past.
