Hi everyone.
I just wanted to thank you all for lending your opinions on this submission.
The reason I was having a bit of a conundrum was that I learned that I can change the perspective of the virtual camera I use to render scenes. I noticed that 3D Studio has a bunch of presets for stock lenses. Then I read into different camera lenses and discovered that traditionally for portraiture, an 80mm or 135mm lens is considered more flattering for the subject.
I was working with FOV angle instead. The default was 45°. The 80mm lens preset changed the FOV to about 29°. I rendered both for a side by side comparison. Although the differences are subtle, they're still there. I couldn't really decide which one looked better.
It turns out that the version most people preferred is the default. Oh well! Thanks again, everyone!
