I think that's just the image being more complete now--I never made a
conscious decision to make one version stylistic and one photorealistic.

I find this comment interesting because the insects are still in the same
place they were before. The difference is that I moved the camera down, so
the insects aren't at "eye level", which seems to work much better.

Well, there's more of them now, so they're packed closer together, so that
makes a difference, too.
