Thanks, that is the effect I was trying to get with the high specular values
and low roughness. I read the debate about this topic in a recent snow
picture post and liked the sparkle effect. I do not think I have achieved
it as well as that post did but may try to improve on it by either
adjusting the normal or the specular values.

Thanks for the comment.
