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.

So you would feel better if she didn't stand so close to you -
can it be you are afraid of self-assured and confident women?

sorry Marc, just couldn't resist ;)

I meant i'd feel better for her, by empathy.

No, no. She's walking away from the camera and probably
out of the scene. The composition renders this in a
convincing way.

Very artistic perspective, BTW, looking down upon her and
she looking up, somewhat surprised and shy.

Excellent art, Ive! Thanks for sharing this.

Superb. I especially like the subtle translucency on her dress, showing the
faint silhouette of her legs... very realistic and natural.

Bring on the technicolor, but I suspect I will prefer this one!

Great!
For a moment, I was wondering if it was some old restored photo or a rendering.

Lots of work, but well worth it.

Awesome work. I do like the color version, but hey. Would like to see more Poser
stuff in Povray.

LOL, really cute. I especially like the change in lighting and her
movement during the instrumental part. So simple and yet so
effective - the good ol' times before MTV.

Yes. The precise, stark, 'framing' with the spotlight. So 
underappreciated by me at the time.
