this is an excellent first pic. the combined pose looks great and the overall scene has a nice look. here are a few things you can do to improve it. 1. The lighting is a little dull and greenish. There are plenty of excellent global lighting sets in free stuff or better yet learn how to create a global lighting effect. The textures look much better when lit right, especially the photorealistic look you want in your hair. 2. The camera needs a better look. Zoom out a little and increase the focal length to at least 50, you'll get a more pleasant image. 3. Bob is quite right about skirts and poser, they are tough. Poser 5 has dynamic cloth which may solve the problem. You can also use a magnet deformer to pull the skirt out of her calf. The thigh is in a fairly extreme pose and Im not sure you could pull it out far enough with a magnet without getting some funky results. which leads me to... 4. The joys of postwork. Personally I would pull the upper area of the skirt out with a magnet as far as possible and then postwork the rest in Photoshop. You can use a technique called snowcloning, render once with the thigh visible and once with it invisible. Comp the two renders in photoshop and make the skirt visible over the area of the thigh that it would cover. This may sound like a bit much, but here you have a good start to getting the results you want. If you have any questions about what I've described here feel free to ask. :)
