DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

        First sorry for my english, I_m only 16 years old and I
can_t speak english very well...
        I began the work preparing the three postures of the
three fairies with Poser 2 (this software has been distributed
free with a magazine in my country), it was the first time I
used Poser and I employed a few days to obtain the right postures,
but lastly, I obtained it and exported the three bodies to 3DS format.
Then I continued with the landscape, with Bryce 2 (this software was also
distributed free with a magazine), and it was also the first time I used 
this software, but it is easy and in a few days I modeled the terrain
begining with a grayscale image made with Photoshop.
        When I had got the background image and the bodies y go to 3D studio
MAX
where I imported the bodies in 3DS format and put the Bryce image as 
background. I modeled the wings of the fairies and made its texture with
Photoshop. I created the first plane brushwood with MAX, using a loft objet
with the scale modifier to make the branches and a spline and the bend
modifier to make the leafs, I made the texture of the leafs with Photoshop.
        Then put everything in its place and put the lights, there are 9
lights,
8 spot and one volumetric omni light in the hand in first plane. I wanted to
put
a flare with Photoshop in the hand, but the rules forbide it, so I put a
volumetric
light. I rendered the final image with MAX and...here is.
