IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
    Ironically enough, I was devoid of inspiration for the topic,
when my
Mom said "What about somebody meeting his maker?". So I designed the scene.
Originally I
was going to have the man walking on water, but as I was designing it, in an
unusually
Christian flash of insight it occurred to me that it would be even more
appropriate to have
him knee-deep in water - baptism.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

I used a nice, muchos detailed sky_sphere with lots of cloud planes, then yer
basic
reflective water with ripples, and a "People" include file I downloaded. I
decided on
making the guy out of Glass at the last minute because it made the effect that
much better.
Also, I used a Lensflare Include file to create the spectacular God-Like flash.
