DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I have only been working 20 hours distributed in five days. I was not sure in taking part in this competition due to the lack of time, I started handling with flattened spheres to create the butterflies wings , once I saw the result quite accurate I thought where to set the butterflies,of course, I should have placed them in the fields but because I have not much time to try out . I made up my mind with an attractive idea which was to reflect the landscape in the window. With this attractive idea I resolve the problem of the lack of time.I have saved with this to put in my drawing trees and even the grass. Another probem was to place the butterflies and because I was working with the wonderful "Trees.inc" of Sonya Roberts, it came to my mind the idea of setting a bonsai with flowers on the mantelpiece of the window surrounded by butterflies. Once all the objects have been placed and with only one day left of the handing, I have started to look for appropiate textures for them, since I could not detail any of the bricks. I have decided to make little changes in their texture, and concerning the butterfly, I have used the texture " Whait-Marble"., I am not very proud of the final result, but I think it is quite acceptable so in the end I will send it to you.
