IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    I have always wanted to enter the competition but
never had the time or the patience to create great images. Last 3 times
I came up with good ideas but did not act on them. I did the same thing
this time as well. I did not want to draw a usual "nature" scenic image.
Instead, I tried to draw a tiger chasing a deer - and failed. My tiger
looked miserable :-( Then I tried to draw elephants with bleeding mouths
with their tusks hacked off - sort of a twist on what people are doing to
nature. But this too proved to be to much for my level of artistic talent
and time schedule.
Finally, 3 hours away from the deadline, I decided to submit something
atleast this time esp. since I just bought Truespace and Bryce 3D. This
is what I ended up with. Not too good. Hopefully this will serve me as a
reminder to start early and stick to one, not-too-complicated idea :-)


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
    The lake, the terrain, rocks,
trees and other plants were created in Bryce 3D. The bird was hastily
extruded in Truepsace 3D.
