The Importance of Lighting

I knew lighting was important, but I didn't realize how much of a difference it really made in realism until today. Compare these two images:

Same model, same angle, different lighting. The first one is very obviously computer-generated. The second one is getting closer to photorealistic. The hair still needs a little tweaking, and the nostril's still not shadowed enough, but damn, what a difference!
