| Interestingly looking man, but because the white chess he is playing are too washed out I first could not figure out the heading. |

| You've captured his intensity nicely. I kind of wish that we could see where his eyes are focused (presumably on the pieces of his opponent) 7 |

| Sometimes the little things are overlooked that make a major impact on an image that should be a winner. While the darks are highly detailed and well controlled, the whites are just slightly out of control on the left which is distracting when the image is viewed as a whole. When the individual pieces of the image are taken into account, the subject is extremely well lit and captured rich in detail and properly presented. The background, while properly vague, is too vague and could use some more definition to give the impression of depth and dimension as it appears to be flat which detracts from the foreground detail. There are quite a few technical issues with this image (like the washed out chess pieces) in the reviewers opinon. However, once again, the incredible subject with the rich detail and sense of purpose overcome the technical problems and make this a worthy entry into the challenge - perhaps even a top fifteen entry. |

| He looks confident that he will win the game, I like that look, this photo is great I just wish he had the black pieces, the chessplay can be barely seen |
