The lighting really hurts this shot. The flash is a little to harsh, and the light from the window puts a blue tint that doesn't feel right.

Something abpit the image quality seems poor to me, like the focus is off or something. Maybe if this was shot at more of an angel with some shallow DOF.

Comment by saracat:
This would score better with me if _either_ the squares on the board were lined up perpendicularly to the sides of the photo _or_ they were placed on a much steeper diagonal. As it stands, it simply looks a little sloppy. Also, a slightly lower angle would help give this more interest, and help isolate the pieces from the board.

My first ever submission so thanks for the comments and for the votes. I will be back. Not one of my great photos but now that I know how to do it I plan to move up the lists.

This photo was taken at Bristol Zoo the penguins are easy to take and fit the theme well.

I like how this isn't overly sharp.

Aww, what a cutie! I find the blurred foliage in the foreground distracting, but otherwise, nice duotone entry.

Ah, sweet fella. I like the contrast. The exposure a little bright on the breast of the penguin.
