IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
The prisoner dreams of freedom as he watches the birds flying 
freely under the open sky, but realizes that he'll propably spend
rest of his years in the cell. So, the theme of this image is
freedom/imprisonment.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
The image was almost entirely created with POV-Ray, the only
exception being the signature, which I added with Paint Shop Pro.

The wall is height_field and the bricks are superellipsoids.
The "arch" bricks were bended with Chris Colefax's Object Bender
include file. The birds were made with a small macro which takes
the angles of the wings as parameters and creates a simple
bird-shaped object. I added a little motion blur to make them
look better.

The scattering media filling the cell interacts with the
area_light used as the sun, creating an impression of dusty air.
