Hey all, fabulous renders from everyone, as always. Really enjoying browsing the thread!

Haven't had much time for DAZ or Reality lately, but I was toying around with IBL, DoF, and water planes when I came up with this render that I was fairly pleased with (the result even if not the scene itself, kinda boring)

Not sure I like the way her hair turned out, trying a new (to me) hairstyle. It's Tayler Hair from Daz. I bought it because it looked like the textures didn't have baked in highlights.

I like the effect from the water refraction, I think it turned out nice.

I think I got the focus right too.

I may revisit the scene later to fill in some of the empty space :)

This version is 1.2 Kspp (took about 12 hours to render), ran it through PaintShopPro to take some red sparklies out of the hair and sharpen the image a bit.

Any commentary is welcome.

PS - oh and btw I'm going to go out and buy that 50 Shades Trilogy, you all have peaked my intertest ;)

PPS - Haven't seen her around the thread much lately, but I went and picked up some of Angela Knight's books, enjoyed them a lot. Check her out!
