Your work is so incredible, realistic, and life like it's amazing! I was following your forum threads when P6 first came out, and I must say that your talent and technical expertise is on such a high level! This image is a prime example of how you can manage to work the program in your favor to what you want instead of the other way around! lol! Absolutely superb work, Cath. I am truly impressed!

I agree with Mollock! where did the water come from? This is amazing! I haven't been able to get that sort of realism yet out of P6. Still working on it. LOL Just fabulous!
Fatale

tiquanleap
To me it looks like the only thing poser is the banana. Awesome job blending the two!

Nice job on the composite, Cath. This is a really hard one to pull off, because the teeth, mouth, and angle of the croc makes it tricky to get the bannana placed just right for proper shadows, etc. Did you do a mock-up model of the croc in Poser as a shadow-catcher? Very interesting.
dolfijntjes
that lookes fantastic so realistic the details on the crocodile are amazing
lan_croft
It's so cute!!! What an eye! It's look superb, the lighting is very good too, but I think that even over the whole concept the alligator/crocodile expression makes the point. Doing that which such an inexpressive kind of animal is for sure a hit. Excellent concept and overall work! Just Excellent!

Fantastic integration, awesome shadow/lighting on that banana. And hilarious too!
