Now, what kind of sick mind would be offended by an image of a pretty girl?

The face somehow looks childlike in a way that looks mismatched to her body.
(But as a latent artist who's been unsuccessful with portraits, I still
struggle with how head and facial features convey age, sex, and other
characteristics.)

The hair and the skin texture are spectacular.  The anatomical forms and the
skin textures of the elbow and feet show a remarkable attention to detail, as
well as how her thigh is deformed by the way she sits on the chair.

And refreshingly, the model is shaped like a real woman and not like a Barbie
doll.

Ever heard of "Poser porn"?

I do recall the bunch of lads in the tech support office of one place 
had a bit Lara Croft pinup on the wall.

I'm sitting there thinking to myself "um, you guys know that you're 
staring at a large polygon mesh, right? I mean, this object doesn't even 
*exist* in the usual sense of the word! Even fantasising over an 
unattainable supermodel seems better than lusting for a non-existent 
fictional character...!"

Given that these guys still thought it was hilarious to say "arse!" 
every now and then, I guess that thought would be lost on them...

Yes, complete with fake-looking hair, plastic boobs, "Poser elbows," body parts
that pass through floors and tables, hair and clothing that pass through body
parts, and a widespread aversion to cast shadows.  Shows promise, but needs
work.

Or does the quality improve when you become a paid member?

YES!  My biggest complaint about the DAZ models...  No matter how good your 
skin tones, you can't make them look real, because their bodies are (at 
best) representative of about 0.01% of the population.  Pamela Anderson's* 
body is not realistic.

*my example is likely out of touch with the times...
