In round two, you need to impress the judges with your muscle tone in a "relaxed" state. Most bodybuilders flex their abs and quads to the max and every other group at least 50% with a relaxed look.

You want to stand with your heels together and arms at your sides. Your body must be displayed from the front, back, and both sides. How you stand and the positions of your arms, legs, and torso are all individual preferences. Experiment in the mirror and see what looks good.

One recommendation is to put up two mirrors on opposite walls so you can see what your back looks like and practice your back pose. If you set up a flat light over the main mirror, you can really check out your physique objectively.
