Thanks for all the encouragment. Im not sure how much more I can do on this as its slowed my PC to a crawl and I havent added one light yet. I was going to darken it down a bit and have lights between the houses but I think my cpu may melt first. Any hints for keeping a biggish pic managable while I work on it? I like the idea of furled sails. Back to the meatblls I suppose. I purposefully chose this wave set to add to the calm feeling of evening I was aiming for. I think Ill stick with it.
