DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The title means "nobody there" 
in french. 
The stones have been created with Blubble and textured with a procedural 
shader with a dense bump, looking closely like what the pink granite 
looks like in north Brittany, eroded in cushion-like shapes by the sea. 
The water could have been made with a procedural shader (wrinkles, waves). 
But it is not. Those shaders give too symetrical patterns, that is why 
I used duplicated flattened mountains made with 4Elements, textured with 
a highly reflective texture; this gives a more natural looking to the 
water. The sky and sun have been created with 4Elements too, I used 2 
cloud layers and a large halo around the sun. Ball and chairs for 
composition purpose.
