Suggestion:  Do a render from the other angle.  ;)

agree with Upon Infinity. The different angle would be about 90 degrees to the left :D :D

Like...agree a different view might be better but over all nice...maybe some wake foam but it almost looks to calm for that.As there is disturbance enough to make the plants wave, maybe something should/could be done with her skirt to carry that motion through the whole picture

Added Dune's foam TGC uploaded to File Sharing forum last week and still working on the waves.  increased the elevation a bit and added clouds and Indian Blanket flowers (xfrog).  I think the clouds look over-exposed. 
@bobbystahr -  the dress flutters more to the right now,  to give the impression of wind movement.  If I move it any further I'll loose my PG-13 rating.   ;)

I promise I didn't look at the girl.
Just watching the sea and especially the foam
In my opinion, it is not working yet. The first part is the main problem. It seems
this part is too windy, too wavy. I would suggest something without waves and wind effect. You add some foam.
And you also can add foam on wet sand.

Are the scales allright? I don't mean within the object  ::) but between object and sea/beach. Somehow the girl seems a giant (as a whole).

Go back at your seat Ulco, watching her with your eyes at 5 cms from the monitor let you think she is a giant  ;D ;D ;D ;)

Seriously It could be a scale problem here

Google translator shows "to swing" but they may be withholding some truth.

I would cut down on the reflectivity of her skin, unless of course she's fresh out of the sea. ;)

By the way, did you manage to get the eyelashes work right? I never seem to get it done. On my DAZ-TG figures they look like some sort of peaks so I usually turn them off. :D Just post in an image of her face. You won't loose PG-13 that way!

I had the same problem for quite a while.  One day it occurred to me that the eyelash image supplied with the model actually looked like a mask. So I used it as a mask (with nothing selected for the image) and it seemed to work.

The "mask" goes in the opacity slot for the eyelash shader.

the 'trick' with poser figures is to always take note of the Tr in the image name...indicates a transparency map

Last update of this image. (Render times are exceeding 13 hours and I'm ready to move on).  The look and feel is more at what I was trying to accomplish in the first post, especially the coarse sand (typical of some of the beaches on the barrier islands around here).

Well I like it and have no tweaks I'd do to suggest either so I'd say she's done, and a gooder  masonspappy....
