Thanks, Rob, for the information about the fronds.  I looked closely at them
again.  They're dead on, with the appearance of random deformities in
individual leaves.  Their placement on the side of the image, in close-up, is a
very effective way of highlighting the detailed accuracy.

I also like the presence of the lace curtains behind the windows, which gives an
additional feeling of depth.
