Snapshot on the beach

Sometimes, I just want to do a simple render and get it to look real. Nothing flashy, nothing crazy, just a little slice of life. That's what this image is about. I did the render in DAZ and then added some film grain and dust and specks in photoshop. It may not be the kind of image that makes you go, "wow", but I like the quiet, mundane beauty of it. :)

Very casual almost like a snapshot. The glistening skin suggests she just came out of the water, and apparently stepped on something. Good storytelling.
Thanks! That is exactly the feeling I wanted to capture: a little moment out of a story... I'll be doing some comics later this year, and this was good practice for those. BTW, I've got more than one of your environments on my favorites list, and plan on using some for the comics. :)
Can anyone recommend a good beach ground environment that I could use in conjunction with Orestes HDRI skydomes? I really like the lighting & sky from it and want to be able to have the same lighting for things such as beaches and lakeside scenes. Right now I'm using https://www.daz3d.com/orestes-iray-hdri-skydomes-summer-day and a sand pit.
Well, one possibility is UltraScenery.
That's here https://www.daz3d.com/ultrascenery--landscape-features-volume-1
However, I'm sure that there is a beach modelled with a wrecked boat half submerged in sand, I can remember the progress updates as the PA modelled it and submitted it, looked really good. Released in the last 18 months. But I can't find it. PA with only a couple of releases. Mind's a blank, sorry.

If you use the search term "Island" there's atleast a few options of palm tree beaches. Also try "shore"
The broken rowboat in this set can make a nice detail on a shoreline too.
