I'd say that a big "wow" factor (to me anyway) is the lighting. Just try this: render a face with a regular lighting. Then render the same thing, but with a different lighting, a more "dramatic" one, more shadows, more depth. It gives so much to a character and to an image. Sometimes when using Poser, you don't make an effort to make the figure look 3D, because you KNOW it's 3D. I've had people telling me my 2D work looks more 3D than my real 3D... and that's all because I didn't pay enough attention to the lighting. If you find it too difficult to handle (Poser lighting can be a real pain), go to RDNA and get some of their free lights... these can do miracles. :) And also - don't feel bad if people don't respond to something. I've had several images I simply loved, and got little comments on, and at the same time images that I was completely unsure about how good they were got a lot of comments.
