Right on the spot, Jim!
I have not been too happy with the waterfall's location. I mainly did choose
it because it was a lower part of the cliff. However, it does not work well
with the moon here. And, indeed, it is too centrally placed. More work
needed here.
The clouds: I put them in to judge their effect. Still not what I would
like, though.
