Thank you for writing such a long and thought out comment! 
I have tried to make the sacs very shiny, but because of the way the lighting is, not to mention the low quality of the render it doesnt show very well. A background is the next major piece I'm gonna focus on, I've purchased the grass essentials so making a decent looking grass field would be relatively easy, I'll try that first and work up from there, still relatively unsure of the setting, something the represents a sunset well, maybe an ocean?
