IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
 Three differently colored glass balls all touching at 
        the origin hovering above a glass plane with a starry background 
        complimented with blue swirls.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
 I used a basic geometric formula 
        to figure the centers of the spheres so that they would meet in the 
        middle.  I added filters, reflections, and phongs to highlight the 
        spheres and the plane to create a glass-like appearance.  I placed 
        a light source in each of the spheres to create a glowing effect.  
        The background was created with a skysphere statement with bozo 
        statement to create the swirls.
