Quote - SR1 is a lot better at this. You can drop the render settings to levels way below what you're using now, and still get good results.

This render was just over 5 minutes. There is reflective glass in the cabinet. There is reflective metal on the lamp. There is transmapped hair. There are two spotlights with super-soft shadows, using extra shadow sampling available as a knob in SR1!

Those of you who are familiar with the render settings will be surprised at what I"m using here.

IC = 20.
ILQ = 4 <=== !!!

Geez, can you please please please tell us exactly how you achieved this result or is it your secret?   How many lights, what kind?  Is there any ambient occlusion nodes in any of the material?  How about in a light? 

What settings did you use exactly to render? 

That is definitely one of the best renders I've seen in poser and the girl is hot too ;)

A lot of renders I've seen have way too much light.  It seems too much light and IDL = bad.
