Couldn't you have gone farther than depsair.com to steal a photo idea?
Though i have to admit, it's a nice copy |
I wish I'd seen this before I'd voted. :( It's nice, but ... I was thinking about the idea, too. |

| I don't usually like the chess shots, but the lighting, composition, and set up are really good on this one. Light verses darkness, good verses evil. Nice job. 8 |

This is an excellent concept.
But to enhance the despair the white piece is all right, but the black ones should have been more angular or agressive figures. |

| The lighting, composition and contrast of white vs black really makes this a powerful shot |

| It's always terrible to be the one to lose a game of chess. This is a good composed photo. The background coloring is attractive and not distracting. good job! |

| Great idea, excellent lighting and colors. You've made the chess board seem as if it is wet! cool..... |

| This is a really neat idea but this game is completely impossible and that bothers me...sorry. |

| The nearest anyone came to really portaying despair: few other shots really give you the idea that here there is NO hope. |

| My only 10 for the week. What's the background? I love this shot. |

| This board position is impossible. Black always moves first. |

| could be my monitor: Too much contrast between the white and black. I think I would have prefered a different angle, more from behind the white, to give the black more weight in the shot. |

Best of the chest comps!
might have been a little better with a slightly elevated angle...
also the lighting makes it hard to see the black pieces
high scores from me... |

| I like your choice of focus, the eye is drawn to the pawn in despair. And the choice of color is good too, the white one is out of hope, the black ones are its antagonizers. Nice effect with the lighting. |

| Extremely well shot image with what could be considered a cliche theme. There's been a few chess shots in this challenge. In my opinion, none were able to do it elegently as you. 9/10. - [added later: The more i look at your photo, the more i like it. There is so much emphasis on this white peon, I love it. Actually, the more I look, the more I think this shot is not about despair but more about courage. This looks to me as if he's defying the black army on his own. But it's just a question of personal interpretation. Great shot, really.] |

| Perhaps the chess player is showing despair, but the chess pieces aren't, IMO |

| Nice idea, but I can't help thinking that just to the left, the massed ranks of white are waiting to back-up the loney pawn. Perhaps you could have shown the edge of the board just behind the pawn. |

| Technically, you should have used the white king (otherwise the game is already over!) Great idea, good composition and good lighting. |
