Quote - I hope nobody bites my head off for this but Poser art (for the most part) needs to be critiqued similar to a photograph. composition, lighting, etc.

Oh, absolutely if you want to call it art and expect it to have credibility as such, you also have to be willing to take the heat of critique. This is what ppl who put so many years into concentration and skill development have to face.

And if you'd like to just tinker around for fun and pat yourself on the back for it, fine, it's free expression, enjoy. But if you trot it out among a community of serious artists, expect to get burned.
