Whether it be sex, fashion, religion, art... anything, there are always more than enough people willing to tell us how to think, feel and be. My advice is to get used to it and simply ignore them. If you can't do that then perhaps you may take solace in that for every opinion expressed there is another who holds the completely opposite view. As far as I can see you explictly state that your imagery is composed via poser and "realism" (whatever that is...) Perhaps this is necessary for purposes of classification but I think we're already far too eager to lock things into tidy little boxes. Other than that, if your process achieves your desired result then there is little for anyone to complain about. "All the world's a stage..." so strut yourself. Ain't nobody else gonna do it for ya. - Jack
