Thanks to all for your kind comments. In fact I
had some doubts, but this happens always to me
after having spend quite a lot of time working
on an image.

About the hands: yes, I see what you mean. The
strange thing is, I just checked them within Poser
and there they look really good - even in closeup
views.
My guess is that this kind of lighting setup (by
using only strong spotlights without any umbrellas
to soften it) does in this case show some unusual
harsh shadows between the fingers and so creates
a strange impression. But I'm definitely unsure
about this.
And the right hand is meant to be not in a
comfortable crossed arm pose, but is maybe about
to make a gesture or does express some tension.

It was an interesting experience to work on this
image. I do use poser models since quite a long
time, but they have always been just a bunch of
triangles. This time the figure was meant to
represent a real person and while working on the
face morph - and I realized that I did get quite
close - I felt I had to be more careful than
usual, I didn't want to harm her in any way.
