The atmosphere just doesn't do it for me.  If it were that hazy, there would
be no sharp shadows.  If it weren't that hazy, there would be much brighter
sun.  Look at http://www.oyonale.com/ldc/english/chess.htm for reference -
sharp shadows, bright in the sun, good aa on the textures.  The individual
parts of the scene look good, but as a whole it just doesn't completely
come together for me.  The ground is nice, but maybe a path coming from the
opening.  Perhaps a dramatic blue sky with a yellow sun, or cleaner fog
with area_lights or radiosity.  Good work still, it just needs to be a
little more coherent.
