I used radiosity on the first one, but my sky was not very bright.  I
increased the ambient on the sky, made it a little more yellow, and added
some ambient to the green grass to help reduce sharp shadows in the grass
and simulate the slight translucency of the green blades.  However, now the
extra light shows that I need to work on the dirt texture on the ball.
