I like pictures and poses of elegant and self-confident women, this is one.
And I love the covered erotic, it leaves room for imagination ....
Well done......

Nothing wrong with the lightings. Very well executed. But I didn't like her posing. Especially her legs posing. Weight center should move to her hips not her legs. That's disturbs me.

Not much I can add that hasn't already been said.Β Lighting interior buildings is always a challenge because you want it to look natural and yet still get the drama of the back lighting.Β Are the walls hideable or removable?Β That's generally what I do and then use an HDRI for fill and then another for the back lighting.Β

Excellent !
Love the scene, for lighting it seems perhaps you tried to hard to light her face and lost the drama of the shadow effect?

Most of my Stonemason props tend to be his awesome outdoor sets apart from the base Venezia suite set, which I have not used much, so have no specific tips/suggestions.
The other indoor sets I use, a few from i13 and my fav and often used Rural Chateau series I light pretty simply. The main light is an HDRI or the sun/sky tool and I will use a mesh light from Dimension Theory's Iradiance mesh sets, or simple plane/cube emmissive. I have a couple of props, one of i13's sets and another by Merlin, that include some really easy to use lamps, one small and one large to add in for extra shadow and colour eg this lamp and in this image (the large lamp off to the right side of her head and not seen in frame, just there to add warmth)
I find if I can't light with one main environment and at max one or two mesh/fill lights such as myturncoat suggested I start to get cranky
I will rotate entire sets and start pulling stuff apart to get the light I want lol.
Whether I always succeed or not is up to individual interpretation
Nice image Jane, very elegant!

I have used this prop and I indeed remember the problems with the light.
I decided to keep it dark Β Β (Enslaved - a sample )
Most of the time one or two emissive planes will do the trick, opacity set to 0.0001 (or 1 to reflect in the eyes)
The image is great, textures, posing, and all.
But...as a suggestion...
You have a bright light coming from the back, which gives a very nice effect.
The woman however, gets too much light on the front, killing all the shadow effects you could have created with the back light.
Underneath the hat, her face should have been somewhat darker.
The (inner)lights are usually more yellowish, to create a softer effect (however, with the modern LED... )
So I would have used an emissive sphere or plane at the side of the sofa, like a standing lamp. And set the emission color towards orange/yellow with a Luminance value, enough to make her visible.
If that results in an image which is too dark on the front, a fill light from where I think yours is positioned now.
I wonder if she is thinking the same Β
