      I haven't tried it with palm trees myself, but I have used this method 
to make better looking olive trees. It works well for distance shots.

     Or another idea would be to model a palm leaf yourself and add it onto 
the trees, rotating them in the same direction as the cape. I think you 
would only need three or four just to give the impression of wind.

     Ah, I see it. It's not too obvious though. Hmm, not really sure what 
you could do to improve that, apart from maybe just intensify it around the 
palm trunks?

     Those Komodo's work well in this image, Thomas.
