OK. Well one subject that is important for "photorealism" is - focal blur. I use it in Poser mostly to demonstrate focal blur in Poser, but I'm no artist.

I have nothing to say. Yet I have test renders that demonstrate.

Here's one:

This exhibits several composition techniques:

1. Smooth (no distracting) background.

2. Main subject (first pawn) off center.

3. Intentional use of focal blur to draw attention to the subject.

4. Interesting/unusual aspect ratio

5. Intentional vertical crop, but lots of extra horizontal space.

I actually thought about all these things when I made it.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
