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.

Very nice beach scene!
Lovely image and story.
Good story ! Funny !
Great scene ! Well done !
Funny! And an awesome scene! When I want to add a lot of props, I render the scene with as many props as I can first include. Then, I make a "background" picture out of the rendered scene. Next, I overlay more props onto the background scenel You can add many many props that way.
In the truest sense of the word, it was a shockingly bad deal! I find it shocking when someone makes the music of the great white shark in the pool ...Muahaha! The idea is very funny and it's fabulous done!
Lol! Very funny story and scene, superb realistic poses and expressions, excellent work!
Excellent render and I like the story! George and Teffo
Excellent!
I looked at this yesterday and must have closed without commenting. oh well, not the first time. I could see why some people would get very upset with her shark fin.well done
scène très drôle
HAHA! Totally make me think of the two kids in "Jaws". They break the surface of the water and find themselves surrounded by boats and looking down the barrel of a rifle. One boy points to the other and decries: "HE MADE ME DO IT!!" Meanwhile, in the lagoon... :)
Very nice scene!
I guess that lady must have seen one too many Jaws sequels ? LOL Hmm...wonder if Mary Alice can get a refund ?...prolly not ! Fun scene, even with the lack of props
Great idea,klasse composition;like it a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she better start running quick or swimming away from the angry husband LOL
Superb!
Очень эмоциональная работа. Интересный и забавный сюжет одновременно.
Great story, lovely illustrated :-)
Funny story and excellent image for illustrating !
Awesome scene...excellent work!!!
Brilliant! Excellent work!
Oh such a good render :))
Clever concept and well executed.
a very realistic family scene, seaside, on the beach ... beautiful movements in the poses!
LOL for the story! :D Great beach scene, but aren't the shadows a bit blurred? One would have thought the sun would have produced sharper shadows. Well, maybe it's a slightly overcast day. :)
Already tried something like this...lol Even you're not able to swim, for sure you will...:-D
The picture is self-explanatory
LOL! Cute story to this equally cute scene. It's too bad you had to take out so many props. I think SOMEONE needs a more modern computer, LOL.
