IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

I was messing around with the isosurfaces in povray and came up with a really
nice driftwood object that i wanted to use in something. The rest of the image
took off from there. I wanted to use radiosity and layered clouds to achieve a
realistic outdoors look. Textures are straight out of povray (the driftwood is
actually one of the stone textures (T_Stone33). The Earth bitmap came from the
web somewhere long ago and i don't think it was copyrighted. The metal/glass
container were modeled in Moray. This was kindof a last minute thing because it
had been a while since I entered anything...hope you like it and I welcome any
feedback.
