Well, congratulations on getting over the Uncanny Valley and into the peak of
true realism.  Or maybe you stopped on the precipice before the valley.   If
we're talking about me, too, here, maybe my dislike is with a culture where
you're supposed to applaud people who tried really hard for realism, regardless
of whether they plummeted to bottom of UV.  The X-axis versus the Y.

Among the strengths of this image are exhaustively perfect radiosity, and good
color selection. Did you have any special tips?
