The render resembles a stage production rather than an outdoor festival of sorts.  A far cry from being an actual nighttime lit environment.  Rendering a pure white surface is very tricky in Superfly and adding any sort of ambient illumination just overwhelms shadows in general.  I like the post-work but you can still see the underlying glow of the snow on the ground.

Very true, all my attempts to do without any ambient on the snow just turned it all grey. Adding the noise filter to it and a value of (I think) .03/.04 is where I settled and chose that I would just have to post work in the shadowing. Results where not too bad in some FireFly tests I ran but then I am trying to learn SuperFly so that just defeated the whole goal.
