the background is an image composite from 2 images from my PhotoJ portfolio. I add the text in InDesign and saved as JPG. Then I transferred to my iPod and hooked it up to the TV.

The lighting was tircky in that I didn;t want to washout the TV.

Well composed and nice coloring. However there is no tension in the people's hands. They are just both holding the remote like they are posing, which they are but theres no fighting tension in their hands. It's too relaxed for conflict.

I would have tried to use a different lens to get the TV out of focus more, but good idea and setup otherwise
