The grass looks better, thicker. it's texture looks to shiney and bright
though. the same with the trees. they remind me of birch a little, but the
white is too bright (and towards the branches, too green)

looks better, keep it up.

Good tip. I've got Cable internet so I don't notice that the size is too big.
I'll compress further in future.
Any suggestions as to the compression setting? I use MS PhotoEditor or XnView.
