Thank you senor_kasper. I'm not sure the image deserves your kindness, but I'll accept it gratefully! I lit this in my bedroom with 2 strobes. There really isn't any ambient light to speak of in this shot. Main light was camera right through an umbrella. The other light is behind me (subject) and the chair, shooting into the background, which is a hanging white sheet. I have a grand total of about 10' to work with between camera and back wall, so there just isn't enough room to really maneuver - hence the foot getting cut off and the blown out highlights. When I had the background strobe on a lower power setting, you could see the wrinkles in the sheet, and I couldn't move far enough forward to compensate for the need to blow such harsh light on the background. I just ran out of time to solve the problem for basic editing, so I just went with what I had. Hopefully someday I'll get a little more space and I can set up a better lighting solution!
... Technically this shot is poo, and the scores definitely show it. It was an idea I had and I literally had 45 minutes to execute before I left on a 5 day trip right during the challenge submission time. It was either shoot it and submit, substandard as it is, or just skip it. I probably should have skipped it. :)
Thanks for the nice comment though. I appreciate it.
Considering the hasty execution this is an excellent product, specially for basic editing, I definitely do not think it is 'poo' at all. The lighting is most intriguing, it appears as though you had a large and bright window behind, hence the overexposed background, but, how did the back of the chair get such a heavy dose of light?
wow, i realy like the look on his eyes, and where did you get a pilots uniform, lol, this has to make top 10 8
Ha! Thanks Connor. You actually have to be a pilot to have the uniform, which I don't recommend. The job sure isn't what it used to be.

I like the idea, I honestly think people did not read the actual challenge theme and posted while they had a seizure. This I can see with a story of "working out even if your busy, you can find a way".
I'm not sure why there is such a hot spot right behind his bum, but it looks strange to me. Also, cutting his foot off right at the ankle like that appears weird to me. I like the idea of this shot though, it's clever.
Clever and unique way to demonstrate how to stay fit with the tools at hand. This would make a great motivational poster for any number of concepts. Solid detail with a subtle touch with the chair back fade. The focus could be just a touch sharper, but it's fine as it is. Well done.
