I agree in this, and I know why, but not how to "fix" it.
The problem came when I lowered the overall ambient values for almost
everything, The sky, the ground, all of it. I also changed gamma and so
on. All this to make the flares of the fireworks and such light up "just
right" .
It was a sacrifice. I think I could have removed the fog, but I didn't
want to loose that effect, since the image looks very empty then.

As for "over-rationalizing" I don't think it is that, since all of it is
configureable...
Both object count and texture useage is configureable :-)
