IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
Fairly self-explanatory... The picture didn't really turn out how I wanted but I has less time than usual to make everything work and am thus far from satisfied with the final result.  Still worth submitting though.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
The unicorn (which I spent the most amount of time on, naturally) was modelled in Hamapatch. The mane and tail were done using Chris Colefaxe's excellent hair macro.  The trees were created using Gilles Tran's tree macro as a plugin to Moray (thanks to Keith Hull).  I deliberately went for a gnarled leafless look but am still not totally happy with the result.  I played around with fog effects for a while but couldn't get one to work well so I took that out.  I had fun making the image and, as always, am looking forward to constructive critism.
