Me too, and just as a side note: meanwhile I do always use focal blur 
even when there is in fact no blurring visible at all (by using very 
small aperture) because compared to high quality AA settings focal blur 
gives better results in less time. Especially things like the wires in 
your image will even with insane AA settings render with 'gaps' but with 
fairly moderate FB settings they will show as thin lines as they should.

And for the (non-)parallel shadows. In the TC entry it looked to me like 
the shadow lines are merging at a point approximately at the tree line, 
and this seems too close and thus non-parallel shadows, but after 
thinking about it this might be an illusion and the problem seems to be 
(especially given the sun size) there should be no sharp shadows from 
the tree tops at all. In this respect your wip 3 shot looks perfect to 
me. But I did like the calm sky from your TC entry better than the more 
dramatic one you did make with Terragen - but thats just me ;)
