Hi peeps.... haven't done much more than work these past few weeks. However, I wanted to partake of this months challenge as I have never done an under water scene before. Sure would welcome any comments or criticisms. Looking at this the sea turtle looks a bit large yet in proportion to the (DAZ)sea dragon. Wade 8)

it's... like 80% perfect! the only thing i'd change would be the blurr of the image (a bit too clear, shadows maybe blurred a bit as well), and the way the light hits.. it doesn't seem like the light falls properly through the waves, or rather, that you don't see it. i mean you see the reflections everywhere, just not the actual light that's causing them. perhaps some volumetrics? great plot to it though, i like it :) drac

This is really cool! Perhaps a little haze would help with the underwater effect. Love the barbs on the creature's fins.

I always thought the Daz sea serpent looked like shit in Poser, but it looks pretty good here. I think you have the right combination of blur and haze.
