Thanks for the feed-back.  I almost missed it.

As for the reflectivity of the "varnish" on the radio(s), I didn't change
anything.  It seems to be more noticeable (meaning, it seems more
reflective) in the new hi-rez version that has been running for the last 2
weeks.  I think the change was probably due the fact that objects being
reflected are now brighter than they were before and therefore, blend in
more with the sky.  The windmill becomes less noticeable as well.

Some day, I would like to work on a good corn macro.  I think I need to play
around with meshes more.  But this seemed to work adequately for this image.

I don't want to continually rework old scenes, though.  For this one, the
lighting was off, so that was the largest reason for coming back to it.  As
I learn more and perceive more, I begin to nit-pick.
