While there may be figures that pose wonderfully, I have found that where most other models fall short is in facial expression. Yes, it's great to have morphs that allow you to depict several different ethnicities, ages, and sizes, I think the area that has been severely lacking ... in ALL models ... is having the ability to achieve natural facial expression. I have to say, though, that is the key reason that I find Elle very promising. Of all the Poser characters that are available now, Elle without doubt has the most PERSONALITY. That's why I say she is expressive ... you can tell that Neftis REALLY worked on that gal's smile and facial expressions. Maybe it's just me that has this preference ... but I find that the expression of a character goes a LONG way in setting the mood of an image. Elle looks like she is alive to me ... she looks like she has a soul. I think that is just as important as posability.
