This time with a different camera placement and lighting angle and pines. And with Path Tracing on. Took six (!!!) hours for a 1400 X 788 versus what would be only two with standard rendering. I thought it'd be faster(?) What do I know?
Anyway, comments and suggestions welcome as always!
Path tracing is slower but more accurate and realistic, generally speaking. It is not that necessary for all scenes, some benefit more than others.
