That's whatI was thinking too. The woman in the background seems out of place with her religious pose. I'm not sure how to create that 'stifling-heat' look in Poser's rendering engine. Do you have Bryce, Vue, or Carrara? I could do it in Carrara. I don't own the others but suspect I could do it even easier in them. In Carrara I'd set the sun brightness up real high and play around with the 'wind effects' to get a distant wavy-haze like effect. Using that as a sole light source.

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
