Description Yesterday I was walking the park with the family when my wife pointed out something weird happening from across the pond.

Grabbing my camera as fast as possible I was able to snap this picture.

I have no idea who the girl is, but one moment it was just a woman in a blue gray dress by herself at the waters' edge. The next, she's gone and replaced by what I could only call a flying demon.

I can't imagine what would drive such a beautiful woman to give up so much. My wife and I decided we would pray for this woman's soul till the end of our days.

Camera settings:

FOV = 31.876
Aperture = 100
Exposure = 1
Fstop = 2.8
ISO = 100
-----------
Okay and now the truth.

This image is Number 100 since starting the new account.

It was posed in DAZ3A (Yup I'm taking pride in that 3A part.)
It was exported as an OBJ file
Imported and rendered in Octane. (all camera settings are actual as set in Octane.! 5,369 s/px)

All bump maps, transparency/opacity files manually loaded. Also the surface of the clothing and pond also manually adjusted for reflect their respective surfaces.

I love the warm colors, and the textures are just beautiful. Excellent composition as well, it does a great job of guiding the viewer's eye through the transformation. Great work.
