A couple of changes to the draping of the veil, and addition of cloth 
thickness. Also reverting to original face map, with a different 
skintone added.

As said, no point light but a hdr dome with area_light for the sun. It 
must be the combination dark cloth / straight edge that played the trick.

However, I think the wip2 below looks better.

yes, this works better for me.

Another trick might have been that I thought of this as an indoor
scene from the background and overall darkness, while the shadows
where those of sunlight.

Maybe you could also try a brighter sun and a perspective or
sun position that shows some shadow against the back wall.

I could, but this is a test environment where I... test Poser figures 
during development. It is not intended as a full fledged scene.

I see the same effect Christian did mention - to me it looks like some 
badly done photoshopping where the face is pasted but does not match the 
lighting condition.
And as I did first use the web interface I did see this wip2 before the 
other one and I do not see any improvement here. Even black velvet would 
never appear that much darker than the unlit/shadowed parts of the face. 
Not to human vision and not through a camera lens.
And BTW I do see the same effect on the ladies face you did post 
recently - just not so dominant. Personally I think this is a shame as 
your clothing work for poser people is quite outstanding and would 
deserve better.

So, what is to be done? Because I have not the slightest clue (except 
use a different colour for the cloth, which is not my intention).

Additional thought: Why is it that I do not see at all what you and 
Christian seem to see? Not because I am the maker, that is not good 
enough for me. I am truly puzzled.

What do you make of this? Only changed the light's position.
