Recommended Surfaces settings to get a good Dragon render anyone?

Hi All - I'm wanting to get my dragon render to look as good as possible. Can anyone suggest some surfaces settings adjustments that I would need to tweak to get the best look for my dragon skin texture? Thanks in advance!

Which dragon? Which application are you working in? What lighting are you using, and what sort of environment or scene is the dragon in (if any)?
Ok - for this example, let's say it'll be a head shot only with a dark background & standard portrait lighting setup on Daz 4.6 (I've figured out how to get a nice skin texture for a human head shot with portrait lighting setup but I'm guessing the surfaces settings will be different for a dragon)
