Why 24mm focal length?

Wanted to give the comet a sense of scale/size by going wide and including the two trees (living and dead) and the swamp.
Watch out for a future copy of Discover Magazine (USA) with this photo as it Masthead Image, Horizons 9th Edition in 2009 and the Kodak Bill Board in Times Square New York :)
