New to DAZ - First renders, any suggestions ?

Hey,

I tried out DAZ for the fun of it last week. So far so good (as far as my enjoyment is concerned) !
I tried out quite a few characters/poses/whatever. I mostly struggled with lightning.

Here are the results :
- I prefer real life, and then fantasy as far the setting is concerned. I chose a fitness club room, cauz I wanted to do some yoga poses. Plus it was easier to do lightning that way (I started by using primitives, then I just lit up the ceiling (made sense considering how luminous are some fitness club rooms, where you can barely see any shadow). I finished it with a singular spot light (to better see the face). I'm quite happy with the result. Next time I will try a less luminous place, like a normal room, or even an outdoor location.
- I first made a few nude female models, but I found their proportions unrealistic, so I decided to make a more "normal" girl. Tits are still pretty huge tho. TL;DR : short, fairly fit, bit tits (I'm an ass man, but I was more interested in the morphing of huge tits).
- Same thing for the face. I tried doing some perfect doll faces, but it felt a bit wrong. So here you have a real life person's face.
- First picture's symmetry was done on purpose. No expressions too (she's just doing a fairly casual pose).

I didn't render them, but I tried to do some sexy poses too. I had many female assets, so I decided "fuck it, let's do a futa" (see picture 3). I quite like how the dick looks, but it's a bit too big, which makes penetration (even with morphs) quite a bit of a pain. Even worse : it's hard to do basic poses because of that massive schlong. So I'm wondering "should I work around that massive schlong, or should I just reduce it to make it more fitting with such a realistic looking gal".

Still, I think that I will drop the futa. She wasn't one to begin with. She was my first "realistic looking" character and, without the schlong, I think she looks realistic enough to fit into the fitness scene of the first pictures. Think I will go for 2 ladies (first one + the black girl, non futa this time) + 2 guys (the boyfriends ? friends ? coaches ?), could be cool. Found those assets :
an Indian guy (looks good, plus I don't see those assets often) ; a black guy ; a white one (problem is : those assets are kind of everwhere).

Do you guys have suggestions ? About the overall scene, the characters, etc ? Do you have some nice G8M assets in mind ? G8F ?

Advice:
1. USe Depth of Field ( DOF ) settings in Daz. USe it to focus the viewers eyes on the important parts of the scene ( face, tits, ass, etc )
2. Learn a bit more about lighting. the 3 point system applies both in real life photography and Daz.

3. Pay a bit more attention to mesh clipping ( hand going through the other girls shoulder)
