IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


Three goldfish swim close to shore beneath some water hyacinths.  Some water lilies bob in the water behind them.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

I created the goldfish, water hyacinths and rocks in sPatch.  
The textures were created with Paint Shop Pro and combined with procedurals.
 The water uses the Angle dependent reflectivity by Mike Paul that was added to the Superpatch by Ron Parker.
I had a problem with the Superpatch so I have to keep this short.  Feel free to e-mail me with questions.
