Yes. I'll rack up the diffuse a little and make the light source a bit
brighter.

That's the way I'm leaning. I'll at least do some tests to see if it looks
good or not.

I just feel that the boulder looks like it's about half a mile wide (ish)
but the building is only a couple of hundred metres wide. When compared to
the people (which I haven't posted here yet), the windows appear to be over
6ft tall. I think making them a little smaller would help with the scale a
lot. Anyway, we shall see!

Thanks! I'm having great fun with it. I hadn't done any serious POV-ing for
years until this, so it's great to get back into it. I'm also giving this
work a lot more attention than I have with previous scenes - I think the
feedback from the community is artistically very helpful. Even if you
doesn't necessarily incorporate many ideas, it makes you look at your scene
in a much more critical light.

And the sheer quality of the posting here makes me try harder, too!
