...and using red, green, and/or blue you can add even more distribution 
possibilities; or using the greyscale intensity of course. As this, in the 
end, may need much parse time, it is efficient to save the values (position, 
distribution type, etc) to file and read them separately. I used that 
technique for the vegetation of my TC-RTC entries: 
http://www.tc-rtc.co.uk/imagenewdisplay/stills/index118.html and

... or perhaps because you didn't gamma-adjust the colors you picked?

Note that image manipulation programs usually give you 
gamma-precorrected colors, while if you follow best practices you will 
need linear colors in POV-Ray, i.e. you'll usually want to use e.g.

   color rgb <pow(R/255, 2.2), pow(G/255, 2.2), pow(B/255, 2.2)>

	Plus, the light reflecting off the river looks wrong to me...
