Second state of the scene, this time rendered with stochastic aa. Took 
about 16 hours on an i5 laptop (for what it's worth). The quality is 
slightly better, especially where small twigs are concerned. I probably 
could use even better settings but I do not want to wait much longer for 
a render as other things are pressing.

Following Bill's comment about Sam Benge's Luminous Bloom, I dusted the 
facility off, adapted it to latest pov version (gamma and emission) and 
tweaked the settings until I got this somewhat painterly output. I like 
it but am not going to experiment much further at present.
