... you'll hate me for pointing them out, but you'll try not to make then again :-)

Nah I dont hate you :) I'm never going for realism, I like my fairies too much for that and I have a camera if I want photoreal. I'm just having fun rendering :)

I wouldn't even go so far as to try to defend your work against what Pumeco just tried. I know the subject of this thread deals with playtime, but Pumeco, we've seen your attempts at rendering, and I'm not sure why you even tried to critique someone's work when you have to use black and white filters when you post your images so it hides the true work. Jade really should be a color, not an emotion. ;) (btw, this is a great image, don't let these kids fool you into thinking otherwise.)

Going back to lurk mode.
