Any Picture of fog or mist will have some flatness to it, colour gets
flattened, distance is hidden by the mist. I've tried to modify the texture
of the trees to add some depth and added a highlight on the left. I had the
strange problem of light shining through the HF! which made adding a
highlight difficult.

Besides I haven't added the spectacular(I hope) light effects yet!

The grass is my grass file on my web site but the grass is very long. I've
also tried to use the normals at each point of the HF(Leveller) to angle the
grass to the slope with mixed success. The points aren't on the faces of the
HF but on the vertices with the result that when there is a big change in
direction the angling doesn't work correctly.

The lupines are going to be hell to modify, the file is 50,000 lines long!
