This is a really nice photo.. I love your chess set. The only thing I don't care for in this shot is the background. I won't say that it's distracting, but it doesn't really fit this artistic chess set. With both colors of chess pieces being on the darker side, I would have tried to set them off a little more with a lighter colored (solid) background possibly.

Good texture in the forefront. Like the lighting.
Personal taste: the background draws attention away from the subject.

That must've been one hell of a battle! Good job on having the front piece at the side blurred, makes me feel I'm right there on the chessboard. Also like the pieces, and how you've photographed them, however, the background is very distracting in my opinion, and the same photo with a plain black background would've scored higher with me.

Dern good job, my only little nit is the background is too busy and the light on the pieces could of been better.
Still all in all I like this shot.

I like the concept. It does indeed have the look of a battlefield. Good job with depth of field, but it could be a little better. Some objects that are mostly in focus are a little fuzzy around the edges. Looks like one of the better entries.

The leopard print background doesn't work too well with the chess pieces.
