IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

Rendering time was about 12 hours (I had to render it two times with previous
image as a background to get the look I wanted). And about 20 test renders,
each taking couple of hours. :)
This is the most memory consuming scene I've ever done. Every tiny straw on the
ground is a separate 3d object, each having about 10 faces... But that's the
only way to get REALLY realistic grass.
I used volumetric light to get that eerie light shimmering from the mausoleum.
There's 10 lights in the scene. I had to use five point lights for the ghost
alone, to get light radiate from all parts of her body. Lensflare were used to
get the ghost glow.
I hope you like it!
