Ok, I clicked post too soon before the image loaded.  Learned something new lol smacks self

Well it is clear you are moving forward and I do like this render but it does appear to lack punch.  Compare it with the render at the top off the page from Male_M3dia.   I am no expert but the lighting seems to be the problem not the figure.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
