Quote - Here was my first try using IES.  This image has one mesh light with the IES applied to it and one curved light.

I call it Trouble.

First let me say I absolutely love the sensual pose and overall mood of the image. Your girl has a wonderful face and her expression is spot-on!

Since you asked for critique on DA I will (try) to give a contructive one here..

My first issue is with her shoulder (you can't help it, it's V4 her fault) To make the crease on her upper shoulder more natural you have two options. You could apply Mesh Smoothing to V4. Set the 'Smoothing Iterations' between 10 and 20, that will clear up the crease considerably. You also could use the fix that Corvas made ( http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/simpledetails-v4lite/70402 only 5.00 and absolutely worth every single penny. )

My second thing is that I would go from a 2-light set to a 3-light set. In my opinion the image would bennefit from a third light coming from the (viewers) right to light up the left side of your model her hair and would provide also a rimm-light to her entire left side.

This really is 'my' kind of image and I do love what you done here Kimmers, so don't take my crtitique too seriously. :)
