First off, neat idea.

I saved the pics to my drive and then viewed them in succession with
ACDSee, page down-ing each to see the effects.


dawn:  
	Nice sun.
	Front yard, just behind the trees to the left (5 oclock from the sun's
position) lack shadows that should extend with the light direction
accordingly.  Most of the really lighted areas appear to be receiving
light from a different angle (probably because they really are) and not
the artificial sun.  Perhaps a small darkening of those areas to show
shadows stretching across them.

dusk:
	On it's own it seems ok.  But having seen the dawn and knowing where
the sun rose at, the front lawn again is receiving what almost feels
like it's own lighting.  Very abrupt transistion from the lawn to the
trees.  Once again, maybe darkening, but this time as a whole without
emphasis on shadows.

That's about it.  I know how getting what you want is much harder than
saying how something should look or could look, so I wish you luck. 

Sincerely,
Mike Beane
