Description

Bryce 6.1/DazStudio/Photoshop/Photoscape 3.3 Twenty feet to the surface.Half an hour's worth of air in your tanks.You are trapped,hiding in a forest of kelp,so close to the surface...yet so far!Between you and the safety of the charter boat and the trip to shore patrols a huge Great White,and he knows you're there.He circles above you,his gaze always on your location...waiting.Now what...how do you get out of this one? Another trip into the realm of the shark.The shark is from the Sea Life 1 pack,with a photorealistic Great White mat by Gecco.The kelp is from Lisa's Botanicals Sea Plant set.All are from Daz3D and posed in DazStudio.A water volumetric slab was used for the water.The sun was turned off,and two radial lights were set high above the surface to simulate sunlight.Three more radial lights with a Water Reflaction Gel from Daz and low falloff were placed below the surface...one on the shark and two near the kelp.Haze and fog were customized for murkiness.The image was rendered in Superfine setting. In Photoshop,debris,signature and extra water reflections on the shark were added.A bloom effect and contrast boost were added in Photoscape.Thanks for viewing,and any comments you wish to leave!

Just love it Grafikeer. Nicely done and photorealistic. wonderful POV and composition. Excellent use of lights. I've been a diver for many years and know the feeling well. Try it at night!
