Thanks Christoph,

I'm trying the ambient now. I suspect you
and Dave are correct. It wasn't unreasonable,
but I know I tweaked it for other reasons.

I'll check out the water. I'll try the variable
reflection too.

I want the grass to look overgrown. In fact, I
want the yard to look like it's not been kept
up. I'll try a run with smaller blades though.
I'm worried about the number of objects
now. Do the blades at the well look too big?
Or is it just the main body of lawn? Or both?

I really appreciate your help!
