I'd like to thank everyone who offered comment and critique on my very first Gallery posting "Reminiscence". I was surprised at how well recieved it was. This will be my second attempt at something approaching art and I would welcome your comments and feedback concerning any changes I should make before posting it to the CG Gallery. Credits are as follows (I hope I get these right) The bed and nighty are from PhilC. The bedroom setting is from Poserworld. The model is the P4 nude with morphs. The hair is from Fairy Woods. The blankets are Mason's IK cape. My thanks to these wonderful contributors for sharing their creations.

Very nice, very nice indeed. IMHO, the back needs to be arched more - you know, more upright at the waist/hip and an arched back. Other than that (and it's only my opinion remember) this looks excellent Paul

Looks good. While the hair is included with certain characters at the Fairy Woods I think it originates elsewhere. I'm pretty sure it was made by Rosa Palomino. http://pocketritualoutpost.virtualave.net/dnlds.html -JH.

Shadownet, very very nice. My only suggestion would be the same as Paul's-the back needs to be arched. Try sitting up that way and see what/where needs to be arched a bit more (though I'm no expert poser by any stretch S). I just know you have to have great stomach muscles to be able to pull yourself up that way LOL. The use of the cape for the blanket and sheet is very clever and effective. Diane B

Thank you Diane and Paul for your kind comments and especially for your observations. It's funny how obvious it is now that you point it - the back needing to be arched that is! This is the kind of help I needed. I felt like something about the pose was not quite right but could not figure it out. Thanks again. Also, thank you Jeff for your favorable comment and for setting me straight on the source for the hair. I most certainly want to give credit where due. Unfortunately I was not as thorough as I should have been with earlier downloads in keeping notes on the source of the material. I am trying to do better this year.

The lighting is what caught my eye. Is it Bryce or Poser? you also may want to try re-scaling the bed somewhat. I find it to be rather short in it's default. The textures are also well done. Bravo!

Ikyoto, Thanks for your comments. I will experiment with the bed scaling to see what I can do there. The image was done in Poser 4. The lighting was a matter of trial and error. I am new to this sort or thing and probably not much help in explaining how I got it that way. I just fiddle around with the setting until I got it to look more or less the way I wanted it. Cheers

The lighting is wonderful. On her and on the background. The overall composition is also very good. Fix her back and it will be perfect. And yes, I also have troubles following who did what in my downloads. Everyone should put a readme with their files (and name it like the main file, not readme.txt!).

Thanks again everyone. I posted my updated version of the image with the suggested changes to the CG gallery. Hopefully, it is an improvement and not just a change. If you think the new image too radical a departure from the original, let me know and I will return to square one and try again. Feel free to make comments and suggestions - even negative ones if you are so inclined. I do not take offense. Criticize all you want. Helpful criticism especially is always welcomed as it furthers the learning process. Regards, Rob
