Yes, it's really a DOF issue. Right now, the camera is paying equal attention to the models and the backdrop. And because the backdrop is a little wrinkled, it's really obvious that they're posed in front of a piece of fabric.
For the moment, steaming it might be the easiest way to, er, iron out the problem.
Alternatively, you might try using a backdrop that is textured and draped so that it becomes part of the composition.
This is why I stick to bugs, flowers, and candids. Studio photography totally eludes me, although it's on my list of Things to Learn.
My little pocket Canon was stolen, and my big Canon is not as smart as today's cameras. Feh. Need new cameras and we're bleeding money to do another move.
I discovered last night that Dad, who died two years ago, had been squirreling away silver bouillon for thirty years, along with a note to me. That was kind of like having a ghost pop up to have a conversation. Since the note indicated that he clearly meant this as something to leave to me for its monetary value rather than as something with sentimental value, I might trade it for a real camera, since I've bought nothing that's solely for myself with anything else he left me--the rest is all doing practical things involving debts and mortgages.
