I agree that most stock pics will not stand up to close scrutiny against a poser figure, but a lot of members dont want that level of expertise. Most just want something to pose thier figures against to display thier ideas. I am not a pro and have very little idea of the stuff above with lighting etc but have used a few backgrounds merely to convey my ideas not to win prizes or accolades so keep that in mind as well when you are going through your pics. If it is for freebies just post a few and see what grabs peoples interest...you never know. Jen
