On the left we have my render that was giving me so much trouble regarding the dark shadowing under the arms and in the eye sockets.

(Imagine lots of intermediate renders of the same where I added GC to the shaders, used and didn't use TM, fiddled with lighting for hours....all of which was pointless)

On the right we have the render where, today, I realised that I'd only been using 1 bounce for IDL - this one has 3 bounces as set up in the D3D dialogue.
Problem solved.

The moral of this story is that you should always check your render settings carefully...otherwise you'll be a dummie, just like me.
