... 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 :)

You go for whatever you want to in your renders as long as you continue to have fun.  I have been playing with Daz and then Poser for over 10 years now and if I could produce and render to the standard of yours just once I would be over the moon.  If it had been the second render I had done I would have felt I was a natural at this and in the wrong job.

 

 

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.
