It was a clear summer day and Posette wanted to get some fresh air. While we were out on her patio, we shot a few renders.
Rendered in Poser 4 with postwork in Paint Shop Pro 8 (fixed stray pixels, repainted over Posette''s right shoulder and rear end to fix mesh problems, adjusted color saturation and contrast only a bit. I had already blurred the background before I put it into the Poser scene).
As I am striving to improve my skill levels, constructive criticism is welcomed about any aspect of this image.
Others here at PF have been playing with perspective lately, so I thought I would give it a try by focusing on depth rather than lens distortion. I did learn one important lesson--Posette was posed a little differently at first with her legs straighter behind her. I thought I was done with the scene and was pushing pixels in postwork when suddenly I realized that without her left leg and right shin/foot visible, it looked like she was a multiple amputee! I adjusted the pose and re-rendered. Perhaps I should have started to blur everything ''behind'' her hip in the foreground a bit, but I''m not sure so I left it alone to avoid tedious masking work. I was also hesitant to repaint Posette''s rear right shoulder area since it''s highly visible and well-lit, but I decided to go for it and hopefully it looks natural.

With all the and I'm sure you were trying to give a compliment, alcide, so thanks, but I'm not sure what you meant as I'm not seeing any resemblance between Posette and:

Very beautiful "Classic styled" pinup! {The coloring is somehow like an airbrushed photo...}
Great Posette; I like the light, and shadows on her toned physique.
I think that you've done an excellent job with the perspective; my first impression was that she seemed very relaxed, very natural in that space. (something about her shoulders, or the lighting on her shoulders bugs me a little; but I can't decide what, and I often get that same "something bugs me" with perfectly wonderful photographs...)
