IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A sand castle!  (:

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
I decided to try out NaN's free modeler/renderer for the contest.
The modeler was excellent for creating the castle and beach.
Unfortunately, I had a lot of trouble with dark faces on my "smoothed" objects.
I couldn't get radiosity to look good, so I used three simple lights and
one "shadow only" spotlight (the only way to create shadows).
