Thanks!

You are welcome; be my guest.

Ah, yes! Luminous bloom! Something I have long intended to use indeed

Not (yet) convinced. Like Mr says, looks to much like blur here and 
everything is blurred.

I have the intention to do also a stochastic render of the scene. I 
/think/ that would give a better result. It probably will take some 
extra render time; the present render already took about 12 hours, 
especially the upper half of the image obviously because of the trees.
