hi, to share with my limited knowledge of background: i'd tried using pictures for my background; to start with, you may need a hi resolution one, import them into a flat screen or even a box(eg a box frm Poser primitive).

One major area to look at is the usage of the lighting, try playing with some AO or AI lighting-> those kinda lighting that makes the skin texture real...then it would look real on yr renders.

hope you understand what i am trying to say.

attached some of my renders for yr reference.
