A few years ago we would have had to travel to Arizona, at considerable client expenditure, to shoot this picture. These days, with the increasing availability of cost effective library material and of course, sophisticated computer platforms, the whole job can be done much more cheaply and without leaving the studio.
I used two medium res. library shots to create an "original" background, combining the cracks from a small part of one image with the desert and mountains from another (No small task in itself). The only other hard part was the Rolls-Royce logo reflection in the large "water droplet" on the leaf. The distortion and wrapping abilities of the Imaginator helped a lot here. Click on the picture once or twice for a close up view.
