First: Thanks for the compliment!

I understand the "problem" with the grass.
I looked at a lot of pictures of gardens and "wild" grass and I found a few
showing "my" type of grass, but none showed this grass in a garden. So I
can understand that many people don't expect such a grass in a garden (even
it is somehow savaged) and are somehow irritated seeing it in this picture.
So I played with the parameters to get a much thinner grass. Now my
computer is heavily working in rendering the new version with thinner
grass. It's somehow frustrating that the rendering will again need between
1 and 2 days and only a small part of the time is needed for the grass. I
will post it, when it's done! I definitely hope, that it looks better this
way!

Can anybody offer me some computing time on a supercomputer or cluster for
free? ;-)
