I'd like to get better at my Art. I've seen some pretty amazing pics here and I'd like to improve. My failings are with Environment and just getting a better look out of my models. Any Critiques? Tips?

So this is one of my characters I made in Daz recently.
No post-processing.
Do you think I should add backdrop(background?) or not ? Feedback is appreciated.

Her head seems a little small for her body. Otherwise, very nice

That was on purpose. The background was grey to balance out colors and intensity. They teach you that in color theory. White washes out color and blacks darken them. Grey is your neutral. I just can't find a good background that works for me that isn't a fully rendered environment.Try using backgrounds(HDRI/Environments). The last couple of your renders had a plain white background.
Otherwise your renders are good.

Very nice! What asset does that skin texture come from?

You should really use at least two spotlights so you don't get those hard shadows and the difference between parts of her body lit by the hdri and the shadows it makes isn't so big
Also maybe increase luminosity of the spotlight it might be too weak for that hdri.

Ye HDRIs are great.. but especially if the light comes from an angle that the model casts shadows on itself you really need additional light sources.. lighting was my biggest struggle when I was starting out with DAZ but getting it right really does a world of difference.

I'd start with the lighting..

This helped me a lot from beginning to get the general idea.
I'd say post-work is very important. It just makes a ton of difference and it's not all that complicated. Best is I'd say adobe lightroom and you even have some basic presets there already ready so you just import the pictures and see what result you like the most and then when you are one day not feeling lazy you can play with the settings yourself and make your own presets for each scene.
Without postwork:
with postwork:
Also here's your picture with very simple post-work that takes like 2-3 minutes time . And I don't know if you saved it from daz as jpg or converted after but you should use PNG or TIFF they are way better .
