ISO: 50
Shutter: 1/4

To persons expressing their different piont of view by pointing in different directions.
Simple picture but after few test shots it was decided to use direct lightning from above to give the best expression of their bodies texture (their muscular bodies) and also it give "good" shadows.

Superman is out of focus but the gray backdrop (not very intereting with the fold line and color) is crisp when it should be fuzzier. Different from all the other entries but I don't understand the title as it relates to the figures.

I don't understand the title, but the image is great. I am very amused by the superhero-to-superhero glare.

A little sharper.

Two toys on a table. I'm missing the point.

This just cracks me up.

I just can't get excited about this one. I'm not sure what it needs. Maybe a little fill? Possibly softer light. A more dramatic composition?

It looks like one is trying to teach the other to dance the Macarena or something :-) A creative idea, but I have a couple suggestions. Diffusing your lighting would help with those bright spots on the plastic. Moving the subjects further away from the background or using a wider aperture would help to blur out that sheet. Another idea would be to use a curved sheet of poster board to go under and up behind the figures to have a uniform, clean looking background. Keep trying! 4.

What are they doing, comparing muscles? Personally I'm not a fan of these types of shots. Technically you did a pretty good job with focus and lighting, but next time iron your background.

I'm not really sure how this fits the challenge, and it seems a little out of focus. 2

Well, the picture itself is good, but you can improve the background putting a backlight to hidden the tracks in the cloth.

I'll bet on Superman, he's my favorite. :)

bg is poor. But comical and nicely colored.

Focus and depth of field need to be improved
