Working more with Poser 6, trying to sort out lighting and materials; it might even be fun if I could rely upon consistent results, but it seems I'm running on luck, at the moment, never knowing from one render to the next whether my shadows are going to be sharp, blurred, or even exist at all. Add to that, phantom textures that made me delete and replace the wall behind Laura, despite the fact that there were no textures in the materials of the wall itself. Frustrating, but in the end, and after about 30 renders, I managed to get something that I could work with; I still had to do some repainting of the shadows of Laura and also the chair, though happily Laura herself is completely unretouched.

Laura by DAZ
Cutie Pie by Ryverthorn (with mods to the textures included, inc. using the diffuse texture for both transparency and bump maps)
Ox Chair and floor texture by Zygote (free, and well worth it!)

Unfortunately, I don't have a clue where the rest of the props came from; I just moved over to P6, and my reorganization has lost some of the folders with the creators' names; please feel free, if you are one of these talented folks, to speak up! And thanks for such great props.
