 Ah, I see. Damn, wish I'd seen it back then - somehow I missed this one.

   Well, seeing as I've never seen this image before, or the original 
render, yes, it does look like it to me. It kind of looks too 'tight', and 
maybe too good. I'm ok with that though, it looks 'right'.

   Excellent image and now I want to try and copy it in one shot, but I fear 
that's a no go with time/work restrictions atm.
