IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

It is an alien that is looking at a piece of money off of a
money tree.  I don't think I managed to get my point across
very well, but, here was the intentions:

* The alien is looking very confused (if I had been a little 
closer to his face this would be clear)

* The money is the new $20 we have in America which I think
look really stupid, except they have my face on them instead 
of Benjamin Franklin's. I did include the .gif I used in my
zip file.

 

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

I used sPatch to create the alien, UFO, tree, money and ground.
I put everything together in PoV-Ray.  I learned a lot, but
I really didn't do anything special.
