Good subject (though very cliche). Very poor lighting and focus.

Comment by kyrielle:
This is a neat concept and composition for this...but the focus isn't super-crisp even on the pieces/parts of the board that are in focus, and the reflections are distracting. Did you use a tripod? Is there something that could have reduced or eliminated the reflections, maybe a bit of cloth spread above the camera's reach so that only flat cloth was reflected?

Good idea. but the light level was too low allowing for the camera movement to cause the bluring of your shot.

Better focus would help this photo. Playing with f-Stop setting will give you either focus in the fore, mid , or background.

poor focus and the lighting is too yellow.

This looks to be behind glass to me. A different angle may have been more effective. Nice colors.

A bit dark and not well focused. Also some reflections on the bottom left portion of the board. Overall, idea is good but execution could be improved.

Was this taken through a glass? It's suffering from very low light conditions without a tripod which makes it very blurry. Also it is chopped of in a very unusual way.
