Well, to be honest, when I first saw the image I thought "this needs 
SSLT", so apparently it's not enough.

I suspect that image composition of a non-SSLT scene with a SSLT-only 
one doesn't quite cut it. SSLT isn't an effect "on top" of the regular 
lighting effects, but a replacement for the diffuse component.

You should also check the color of the translucency effect.

I'm not sure about the highlights either, I think they're too sharp. 
Also try working with the new "specular albedo FLOAT" syntax, in my 
experience it helps a lot to achieve convincing highlights.

At any rate, good job on the scene as a whole!
