Well, my critiques are on the Poserish problems... the woman looks very good
(excellent hair!) except her arms and hands...  From personal experience:
get a rough approximation of the pose you want, then TURN INVERSE
KINEMATICS OFF! Fine tune all the joints using the movement dials.  Its
more time consuming, but its the only way to get away from the "Poser
look".

1. Fix her index finger on the page, the current pose is painful to look at.
 Poser doesn't do straight fingers very well, I'd use the dials to raise the
knuckles and give the finger more of a natural bend.  You may also need to
change the angle of the bend at the wrist to get this right.

2. The inside of the arm at the elbow has a very flattened "bent" look. This
is another area Poser is weak, because the skin does not flex with
positional changes like real skin does.  Poser isn't natural, so ignore
what *seems* natural in favor of what looks good.  Rotating the forearm
with the dials will move the flattened part to where it is less noticable.
In this case, moving the elbow further away from the body would probably
help also as it will put the flattened part on the inside facing the figure
and away from the camera.
