IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

The description of this image is very simple.  I was hoping to capture the
subtle forces of nature in this image as well as a major force.  In the
foreground there is a tree.  This tree is going through the changes of the
seasons, possibly to autumn.  In the sky to the left there are white clouds due
to fair weather, but in the right side the clouds are black, dark, and ominous
looking.  The ground has green grass and some patches of dirt.  The ground also
represents different forces of nature.  On the left side, the grass is turning
color as if it is dying.  Although, on the right side the grass is very much
alive with the comming of the next storm.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

When I first thought about entering this topic, I started brainstorming of some
very complex images that I could create.  Later, I found a tree macro that I
had on my computer.  I decided to put it to some use.  I also learned a bit
about sky generation from Tim Nikias.  I used this knowledge and decided to put
my focus on the subtle forces of nature.  After spending about 3 to 4 hours
creating the code, I have submitted this image.
