Fantastic suggestions! Thanks folks. This was a test render so it definately needs some work. I did play with the haze and fog - had more success with the fog. I thought about twisting the stairs a few degrees too. Funny how experiements turn out. Those posts actually belong to a staircase I'm modeling as part of a Victorian house. Next thing I know, I'm playing with clouds! Well, I'm off suggestions in hand, to do some tweaking. Thanks again all!
