Halloween season, and found this spooky free temple in Daz today...
Feeling playful, so I exported it to my faithful old favourite iC5... Wait! Don't groan too soon, LOL...

That part took less than 2 minutes.
Then added some DOF, lighting, a book, vignette, 2 avatars, some vines, gravel, fire and some rotating HDRI Dummy props
(just out of view) to imitate a flickering over-exposure effect with coloured beams...

Which took less than 10 minutes and rendered out to this...

Then into Sony Vegas to boost mid tones a little and add a touch of animated bokeh to enhance the flickering firelight... rendered out to the required Banner size 1920x700... and Voila!
Stacks of fun, even though I've got no chance of winning Banner of the Month with such an old version.
But will be great to see how much better iC7 can handle this when DOF gets repaired in the next update later this year... so excited, can hardly wait!
:D
