Will have to give the Mondello Beach  startup scene another go, as it didn't do anything for me when I tried it out. 

I am still trying to figure out what irks me about many renders I do with HDRIs and EZDome. The renders that I liked were small scale ones using a simple wall and floor + pbr textures combination and generally predominantly area lights. This is an example of one that irritates but I cannot put my finger on what bothers me. It's an  EZDome setup with no sun and a Daz Studio freebie from Xmas.
Please excuse the quickly cobbled together figures and clothes. If you really need reasons and answers, then this is that phase in Jedi Lore where heroes had issues with modesty and had to wear a star-shadped denim patch of fabric above non-disclosed, forum friendly non-event-masses. As you can imagine, the individuals did Disney proud with whatever they did in their decidedly limited attire.
