It is a real challenge because so much is unknown - like real dimensions for 
instance - and you have to infer a lot of things from 2D back to 3D. Getting 
the camera right was the most difficult and subtle part however.
Overall I am quite happy, and both images almost coincide (that is also one 
of the techniques I used with the help of Tim Nikias'glare macro). Things do 
not need to coincide perfectly however, and I have taken some liberties here 
and there.

No, I modelled the fence elements in Silo (like all buildings in this scene) 
and then copied them.
