IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

Dragonfly siting on the thin reed, that grows from
the water


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

I've just played with ray-tracing and tried to
make realistic-looking ripples using bump maps.
This is one of my succesful attempts. 
Water is just flat surface. Thin reeds are
simple cylindres. Since I've needed more complex 
reflections, rather single thein reed, so added 
dragonfly, that was imported from 3DS file. 
Pebble, that you can see underwater is just 
a textured flat surface.
