Two of my images were accepted into DAZ's July Gallery and I have to admit I was thrilled. I've submitted quite a bit of work over the last two years and it felt like an accomplishment when they were accepted. I know DAZ isn't the end all and be all but it just felt good, like winning or placing in a contest. Plus I couldn't figure out where the vouchers in my account came from until one day I was browsing through the gallery and saw my work. Light bulb went on! One of them was the one I mentioned above, Getting Down to Business, and I feel it has been one of my best works. And it also made it into the Hot 20 for the one reason that people liked it.

I have to agree with xoconostle on two points. One, when it comes to asking for comments being specific helps. There are lots of great people out there willing to share what they know and do it in a kindly way. And two, pin-ups helped me learn a lot about lighting and posing. Not nude or vacantly staring off somewhere pin-ups, but sensual and a bit sexy too. Sometimes a little clothing goes a long way.
