Description
Aloha from Makapu‘u Beach, Hawaii.
Some people like surfing here but the waves are sometimes quick and hyper. Still I love watching surfers.
I had a little problem trying to blend the figure in with the defused lighting of the background without loosing lighting definitions in the character. Oh well. I'll take it as if the photographer used a flash. HA!

Outstanding brilliant awesome composition, gorgeous environment and lighting, glamorous innocent character, impressive realistic skin light scattering, great render.
Magnificent Masterpiece of Finest Arts. I love it! Depending on the environment light scattering properties, like particles in the air, humidity, dust, and so on, you can slightly fit the light to your needs by adjusting SSS/subsurface scattering skin node, translucency and refractive glossiness, trying different lighting models (sharp,shirley, beckmann, ggx, multiscatter..) and also check the normals height. If it doesn't help too much, then strip her nude, bake her true normals into an accurate floating point hdr/exr normal map and try again. Just few thoughts, it doesn't mean they are correct or they might help in any way but for sure it helps tearing off lots of hairs..

Thanks so Much Mifdesign! That is a lot of great information to work with! I will definitely take everything you wrote into consideration on my next serious project. I consider myself only a novice in the rendering world of Poser. I look at other's work and always wonder... how the heck did they do that? You are definitely a guru in the art of rendering. Thanks again!

Beautiful beach, beautiful girl and an awesome render to go along with it...I can't think of anything better than that! I think you did a great job blending in the character with the background. You are so right about using flash photography...my photos often look like that when ever I use the flash to help fill in the dark shadows of the shots I take. Keep up the great work! :-)

Thanks so Much JohnnyM! It really means a lot when someone takes the time to elaborates on the things they like or see in a render.
