Re: [APML] OT: fireflies

Matt,

I like your scene but something about it bothers me. 
Finally I know what it is. The fireflies in the trees. 
Somehow, I don't think I've ever seen a firefly much 
over 4 feet off the ground. Perhaps they can fly that 
high but I just don't associate fireflies with that much 
height. So it looks un-natural to me.

So, you might check into this a bit. Maybe eliminating 
the high altitude fireflies would make it appear more 
natural.

Otherwise, it's a clever idea. Hey, if your day job 
doesn't work out, maybe being a graphic artist is your 
next step!

My $0.02 and worth every penny : )

Steve...
