As far as likeness goes, I think some of us need to step away from the poser paradigm and take a look at the two pictures from a purely asthetic point of view. We posermaniacs tend to easily forgive the limitations of poser, whereas those coming from the outside are much more likely to be critical. My girlfriend has a hard time being impressed by all but the very best poser work. From a non-poser point of view the two images have very little in common. The face bears almost no resemblance in its shape to the real person, the poser model has very different lines and curves. The hairline is very strait as opposed to the round one that the real woman has (as do most of us). And very importantly in a black and white picture the skin tone of the poser model is much too dark. I don't mean for these comments to be discouraging, but if we really want to have poser art taken seriously outside of our tight-knit community here we really have to push our standards the next level. Keep up with the good effort!
