IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
This is a surrealistic picture of a cube of water. Some raindrops,
that fell into it, caused the waves, interfering on the top of
the cube. The waves also get over the border of the topface on the
side-faces.
This is my second submission in this round. My first submission
is "contrast".

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
For this I wrote a short program which generates a heightfield
of a waveform. This program can also generate heightfield's with
interfering waves. I used only three heightfields, because the
three backfaces of the cube can not be seen very good. So the
three backfaces are simple cube's with thickness 0.01.
Also, the backfaces dont reflect the light. Otherwise I got some
nasty distortions.
