    The sudden thunderstorm clears and the fairy princess leaves her silver palace to frolic between the puddles in the harsh light of the full moon.

    Title:- Fly 'N' Frog
    ("Fly In Frog", "Flying Frog", or "Fly and Frog". Let your imagination choose)

    Story Background:-
    A menacing creature, the Paludem Rana, has been spotted leaving it's normal habitat,
    traveling up the canals and into the backyard garden pools of PhantasiaeUrbem.

    Heroine Ranger, EstDraco Volare, has been sent out to investigate ...........

    Picture Details:-
    Water surface of pond was created as per the "Creating Ripples in DAZ Studio by SimonJM" tutorial using Dformers.
    Mirrors are props that were originally mirrors with tweaking to get the best overall effect. (First time for using mirrors in a render)
    Render done in DAZ3D 4.6.
    Postwork done in Paint-Shop-Pro X6, using Ron's brushes to acheive the splash effects to make the scene look more dynamic.
    (Would like to have done the splashes in Carrara, but will need more experience before I can do that)

    (EDIT Done to fix typo.)

    Stiff competition! Many thanks to everyone who helped me so much with my render. It was a great experience (and hopefully the first of many).

    I mistakenly put our DAZ original store in the link. It is suppose to be my broker store. I have fixed the link now.
