I like the drama of the chess pieces. The tiger-skin backdrop seems out of place

I like the clarity of this shot, but what is with the leopard skin in the back? A little distracting

Comment by Patella:
Yay -- the chaos that most of us feel about chess because we only barely even know the rules. Only two comments. First, I would have turned the knight slightly counter-clockwise so we can see it's face a little better and to get it lit more than just on the mane. Second, I'm not sure the leopard print background is the best choice for the picture. I don't have a better suggestion, but it just seems out of place.

Good focus and dof on this shot. Not sure I understand the correlation of the leopard print in the background.

I really like this picture, but I have some problems with it. The knight is a wonderful piece with some great detail. I would have loved if I could have seen its front, at the very least, turn it 45-90 degrees to the right so that its not backlit. The focus appears to be mainly on the fallen pieces. This is fine except that you have two pieces right in the middle obstructing the view. I think in this case focus should have been on those two pices. I like the way you used the piece all the way to the right to frame the photograph. I have no problem with it being out of focus. I also dislike your background it is too noisy and detracts from your subject.
