Thank you Simen, I really enjoyed reading that reply :)  I think that is one
of the first times someone has said something that nice about one of my
images :)

Out of all of my images created with POV-Ray, this is the one that I love
the most, and it was also the last image that I ever made with POV-Ray.
There are lots of reasons, the personal symbolism is one of the foremost,
and the colours appeal to me greatly, especially those of the background.

A lot of the things that you have listed are amoung the true meaning of the
image.  Two ways of living, two ways of thinking, "trapped" by
something/someone/views/society, two complete worlds, a new life/an old
life.  Extirpate/Inception.

From this image I learnt a lot about life in the process of making it.

Thank you.
