Dear Arch_bd, Dazomatic, Kais, and Morten,
Thank you kindly for your positive comments. So pleased Arch_bd you enjoyed this. I really had fun making it.
Kais, many thanks for your screenshot capture, yes this is sloppy and I need to spend more time amending the waterfall.
Dazomatic and Morten,
You have finally confirmed something which is a mystery to me for so long -
Of course! changing the screen!! - I actually do it all the time so I can attend to urgent work on my Toshiba laptop. Now that I know the cause, I'm going to be doubly careful not to interrupt the rednering process. BTW, the second render (camera dollying down from the tree mid-way through the movie) took nearly eight hours!!!

Best regards,
