Description
I took all the suggestion to heart on my Mermaid post and tried to implement them. Here are the results:
1. I turned the Leviathan and the fish around so they face inward not outward.
2. I tried to add bubbles in Poser but my husband said they just made the image confusing. I don't have Photoshop so I couldn't use brushes.
3. The "sun rays" are actually part of Flink's water. I tried to turn the plane around but they render in the same direction. I think it has something to do with it being a reflection map and not just a texture. I couldn't figure out how to manipulate material files so I left it. Which leads to ...
4. Transparency. I originally thought the water was at full transparency but I was wrong. Unfortunately any attempt to adjust it from 0% leads to "ghost" in the image because of the reflection map again. So murky it has to stay.
5. Lights. I have Luna's underwater lights but after not being able to "clear" the image I figured it wasn't worth trying.
So not much has changed, but I wanted you to know I tried.

Beautiful render. Nice work!!
A great looking underwater scene, water is not Always clear so a murky look is not Always bad.
Some dangerous friends here. Nicely done
Je suis médusé Great work
Very nice mermaid, and great underwater effect :)
This is a lovely image!
Nice!
A lovely mermaid, great water effects.
very nice scene!
Terri, being the geek that I am, I took your problem to task. I found out that you can put a texture on the lights. Go into materials tab, click on a light, change pattern. Hope it works.
Beautifully done :O-)
I think it's better that the fish are facing the mermaid. And the bubbles make the image come alive, nice effekt. But I can't see changes in the light effects. But all in all a lovely image!
Marvelous work love the image
I think you do so well not having Photoshop. This image is lovely.
Well, murky looks good to me... I like it but then I love mermaids weather they are in "murky" water or clear..LOL.. Good work!
excellent composition...even perfect for my eyes !!!
Great effect Teri, another great render
pleasent underwater scene..
That's how we learn. What works & what doesn't. Keep playing, my dear. ")
Nicely done. Btw, Gimp is free and fairly easy to use. It is kinda like the poor mans photoshop. But it is really a good program.
I like what you've done here Very nice work
It still looks pretty, Terri! It's not easy to do underwater scenes and I think you've done very well here!!
I think it worked out well. Not all ocean water is crystal clear. It often has sand and other detritus in it. This scene, to me, is much more realistic.
