That's looking really good, Thomas.

I think that having some of the leaves partially covered in water or sand adds a
degree of realism, especially since the tire tracks imply disturbed ground.

Have you thought about placing your leaves like a tripod, using a 3-point
orientation method?  That might help get them to lay correctly.

For the few leaves that still intersect with the ground, it looks 
somewhat like there are holes/breakages in them, whitch is normal and 
add some credibility.

Thank you indeed.

Yes, that was also my judgement :-)

Out of laziness I must confess I did not use three point, only two and I 
agree that I should do that. In addition to a few other things that is 
going to be my next step.

Indeed. I am not too concerned about them presently. Still, I shall seek 
some improvements.

Now, with a couple of additions, the meaning of the scene completely 
changes.

Clever idea & neatly done! I'll have to let my daughter know her puddle 
snapshot has led to another Pov-Ray image. :-)
