advice wanted with reflections

I love this view. I feel that the tub is just little too big and the mirror is just a little too small. what do you think?

The big question is would I be able to see the tub in the mirror from this view? I'm using the 360 lights and mirror from useful lights.
without changing the view, what if anything can I adjust, or do I use the other lights that came with this set?

Or do I adjust the size of the tub and or mirror add my body and call it done?

    I think at that angle you would just miss the tub, so I don't think it would appear in the mirror. The scaling looks fine on the tub. The real way to test it would be to load in Genesis or V4 whichever you use and put them in the tub. The mirror could use to be increased about 5% in size

    Thanks for your input Frank. My judgment is not the best. I will do a little more adjustment. I did take Gen 2 out of the scene because there would have been nudity. I will just turn the render back on again for her. I did like her pose.

    Yeah I am with Frank on this, the angle of the camera doesn't look right to get the tub in the mirror

    Oh and if you have doubts if the mirror is reflecting throw in a spot aimmed at the mirror and do another test render.

    Thank you for the tip Szark that will be added to my note book. I gave up on the angle and wanted to change the pose of my victim So I looked from a higher angle and did a test render and I sew her out of the corner of my eye. It is not what i wanted but this one looks nice. I will post it on Deviantart once I get it set up. username will be dholm if anyone wants to take a look.

    Yeah I will take a peak when it is done. You can post a link to your dA page, just not to the image itself.

    Mirrors will only work if there is enough light and since you have a reflection now you don't need to add an extra light source.

    If you put a bikini on it or use the default grey clay texture you can post it here

But for someone starting out it does make it easier. Does the angle, size and other setting have impact on it if you do or do not have a reflection?

    Thank you Frank I will do that the next time I need input. I need lots of input so you will see a lot of bikinis and emotiguy
