Description
While at the beach, Mary Alice bought a shark fin toy from a boy who seemed inordinately pleased to be giving up his “favorite” toy. She just shrugged and counted herself a shrewd bargainer. She put it on and waded into the water to practice using it. Her imagination took over and she became a Great White cruising the ocean in search of her next victim. As she approached a set of legs she was abruptly jerked out of the water by a furious Cassie and hauled up the beach to an equally furious Joe, who read her the riot act. It seems her imitation of a shark had been a little too good and had created a panic on the beach. One woman had fainted and her husband was not amused. It slowly dawned on her that far from being the winner in the shark fin deal, she had been sold a boatload of trouble.
Well, our intrepid trio made it to the beach. I had to delete most of the props to get this one to render but we can pretend that everything is scattered out of view. I fought the lighting until I finally gave up. Hopefully it works for you. I am woefully behind in commenting again but will try to get motivated this evening.
DAZ contributed the Chase texture for Joe, the MilCat and the flip flops on the fainted lady.

Wonderful scene and story! Looking at the beach makes me a bit wistful for summer...we have a bout 4 inches of snow on the ground from last night's storm.
LOL...this is so wonderful and rings so true of children. As I reflect back on my own mis-deeds, this one becomes ever more real.
Great work on this image my friend.
