In this case, I feel it is a matter of perspective. Just as we don't  
get the same perspective that we have sitting in the 20th row in a  
concert hall when we place a stereo pair of mics in the 20th row, we  
also need to be a lot closer to the rustling tops of pines to get the  
same degree of detail we hear from a ground level perspective.
