I did some selective highlights, applied healing brush to smooth skin and fabric backdrop, adjusted hue/sat by removing a lot of red and bringing up the blue in the remote, applied a gradient overlay to dull out foreground, resized and sharpened applied unsharp mask. This is me and my husband fighting over the remote because all women know all men are couch commandos! :D

I really like the composition much like a movie poster. What's missing in my opinion is the lighting doesn't match the intensity of the subject matter. I think you would be served better if this was more contrasty with deep shadows to heighten the mood.

Get a second remote and give it to her (do not show them you got the original). First they think the batteries are gone, 2nd they think it doesn't work, third they think it's them not understanding how it works..... By the time they figured out that you gave them a faulty remote, you should have enjoyed a couple of weeks troublefree football.

I love their expressions. The best remote-war take in this challenge.

There is almost a smile in their eyes its kind of funny. The lighting seems off to me though because theres more light on the tops of their heads than the remote which is the focus of the conflict.

the expression on her face seems to be more convincing! I wish there was a little more light! Good luck in the challenge!

Real good facial expressions - they don't seem to be holding back from laughing
