Neat vignette shot.Too bad the edges are a bit greyish. Could have been more powerful with balck surrounding.

a good idea, but the subject is a little dull (and slightly wonkey)

While the vignette effect is OK, I think the chess subject is too commonly seen to have much "new" appeal. And the tilt & off-centre composition detracts a bit from your intention as well. Sorry. 4.

Groundbreaking?

Lines are tilted.....distracting

that slight right tilt does not work

Would have liked this better if the back wall had been darker or blurred. As it is, it intrudes and is nearly as important as the subjects.

A bit tilted spoils this effect, also the sharp edge of the board itself spoils the smoothness above

I LOVE it. :) Good luck with this one.
