Greetings from the critique club! I missed this one when looking through the Zodiac challenge - first impression, I like it very much. Looking a little closer, I have to agree with many of your commenters - the shadow of the back twin is really needs to go. I'm thinking that a little bit of backlighting (just off to the side) and behind the back figure might have eliminated the shadow and allowed for a little more sharpness for that figure as well. Overall, I think the exposure was very well done (better than most of my indoor shots!) and I'm surprised that this didn't do better!

The shadow of the back shadow is a bit too strong - otherwise a good image.

Rather than shadow the twin is out of focus also cutting off the feet from the front figure is unkind :)

Great exposure and focus. Like the color and texture as well. Nicely done!

Great DOF usage. Good theme exploration. I had an issue about the shadow behind the black piece. To me this shadow must be removed. Using a second light on the background you can do it. Or simple put the objects more distant of background.

May lack a litle sharpness. Otherwise technically well done and good idea. Also good tonal balance.
