Hi...

Thanks for your constructive comments Jo, Morkonan... I know this might well be second nature to you guys here, but I'm still at the tinkering stage with Poser 6, with lights/shadows/settings etc, and often feel that single image (I've done some animations that took 30-hours to render out) render times of ten minutes plus are too long!!! But I'm learning that with proper set-ups, settings and scenes times need to be looooooonger - or so it would seem.

This image (I feel much improved thanks to JoEtzold) render took about an hour and already, with most of your suggestions added, Jo, I feel I can almost see 'a' light at the end of a long, long tunnel. I barked a huge WOW!!! when it finally appeared. Thanks! I've never attempted such vast shadow changes on a light before - and I'm rather glad I did. 

And you also guessed exactly where the lights were, Jo... And the brightness for the left main light was 100% in the previous image for some reason?!? I've adjusted that to 70% and turned the right light down from 45% to 30%... Oh and I added a spot above the hair with 40% brightness and a purple hue.

Having pulled the above (or below if that's where its appeared) image set-up from a saved file: File/Open etc, I'd forgotten that I'd added a colour matpose to the Super Bob hair from a collection of 35 and I can't seem to locate any readme file as yet. All I have is a dmaersksuperbob title for the selection in my poser pose file... The purple hair as used here is no: SDD 27... I'll try to locate exactly who owns the superb collection, though it looks like Dmaersk...!?! 

I'll try out those specularity and silvery tones you mentioned, Jo - and I'm guessing I do that via the material Room!?!    You see - learning all the time... 

The make-up is titled MU 06 from the fradv4bambi selection in the pose library...

The backdrop is thanks to a Olympus Props freebie - which looks stunning and adds a lovely dreamy glowing oblect to any scene... 

I'll try putting together a Sci-Fi full length shot of this character, Jo...  

Hope you like the refreshed version thanks to JoEtzold...
