I love the concept but the execution feels wrong. The pawn at right is your foreground subject, but the other pawns seem to be caught between prominence and background, without being clearly one or the other. The idea of the "line of pawns" is a compelling chess image. Very nice idea but I fear it will be caught in the middle of the pack somewhere.

Good Bokeh, although I think the pieces would have benefited from better lighting that suites them well...

I really like this, nice colors and textures, the foreground subject is crisp but doesn't look oversharpenned. For some reason the proportion of foreground subject to background strikes me as a bit off, needing less bg and more subject; or maybe it would look just a little bit better if the bg was closer to being in focus. Good shot, hope it does well for you.

This is a very nice idea. I like the lighting, and good detail on the block. Fits the challenge very well, and yet is creative also. I don't like how the block is cut off though, perhaps if you showed all the hook and a tad bit more of the bottom.
