The Elements 2

The ancient Greeks used to believe there were only four elements: air, fire, water, and earth. In the right proportions, these could be used to make anything you wanted. We now know that it takes far more elements to make everything in the world (9, I think), but those four can still be used to make some beautiful images.

In this contest, you are to create an image that represents all four ancient elements: Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. You can make a landscape, as in the themepost, or a still life, or something completely different, as long as all four elements are represented.

And yes, we realize that outside of Los Angeles, air is invisible. Use your imagination: Show something being windblown, or steam, or clouds, a bird, a plane, Superman -- something that clearly symbolizes air.

Please, DO NOT post WIPs in your comments. Post them in the forums after the contest has ended.

Have fun, be creative!, keep it clean, follow the Arena Rules please, and be careful to avoid using cliches. You will have 48 hours to submit so make your entry count! As always, quality is a must. We'll remove poor images no matter how much we like you.

BONUS: If you use Aviary.com to create your entry you will receive 10 free credits! If you win you will receive an additional 100 credits.
