I had given it a 9 - had I known it was yours it would have gotten a 10 :)
Well done!

I was sure this pic was gonna get top scores... the best idea I've seen for this challenge. Maybe the focus threw some people but I really like this shot

Nice photo but wrong challenge maybe?
03/22/2005 07:04:04 PM
This could qualify for "stock photos" too. Very nice - I like the sepia but with the white base.
03/22/2005 04:36:05 PM
I like the concept. Nice work with the backround
03/22/2005 02:50:52 PM
Very good idea.
03/21/2005 07:21:31 PM
great composition, fulfills the challenge, but is also a good shot
03/21/2005 04:07:48 PM
Catchy concept. Love the simplicity of the composition with the blurred board in the background. Nice job.
03/21/2005 01:38:59 PM
Would look better in black and white.
03/19/2005 10:25:46 PM
nice!!!
03/19/2005 04:40:02 PM
NIcely done. The chess board background is perfect.
03/19/2005 07:50:45 AM
I love the humor here.

I like the image, but was hoping for a little more detail here...7

Best friends is a stretch since these chess pieces should be enemies. Nice colors, compostion and contrast, though.
03/17/2005 08:03:46 PM
Creative...

A very nice take on the challenge. Yes, title is required in this case, but compared to all the other entries where even title can't help them, I am bumping this up a notch.
There the rule of 3rds is followed, although there is something with this image that bothers my eyes, I can't grasp what it is right now. I'll come back for more comments if I figure it out.

I like the blurred background, although the white stand the kings are placed on is a little distracting. Also, I think I figured out what's bothering me: the color of the background is too much like the color of the main objects. If you could have desaturated it just a weeny bit (not to lose all the color, just a little bit) or perhaps converted the whole photo to b/w, maybe it would have been better. Just a thought.

I see this finishing in top 15, easy!
03/17/2005 09:57:17 AM
maybe the line should have been a little straight... its distracting
03/17/2005 06:59:41 AM
hehe

how does a chess metaphor make it into nearly every challenge?
This one is cheeky, but unsurprisingly enough, lacks the sort of emotion that i would want to see in this challenge.
03/17/2005 12:08:49 AM
clever. . .
03/16/2005 08:34:57 PM
haha, i knew it!
03/16/2005 08:24:43 PM
Great idea! Very clever.
03/16/2005 05:35:50 PM
Hilarious!! Seriously great DOF
03/16/2005 04:40:16 PM
I find the tonalitly in this shot, while suitably warm, muddles the lighter chess piece with the background. But I think you are right that the board needs to be in the near distance.... Cute idea/good title.
03/16/2005 03:05:47 PM
This is a "Concept Shot" that may actually do well in this challenge. Good job. My only critique: Aren't they really bitter enemies?!?! Lol. Keep up the good work. 8
03/16/2005 02:36:10 PM
Great comp! Love the color tone! 8
03/16/2005 10:45:52 AM
One of the best shots I've seen yet of a chess set... It's hard to find emotion in such a simple game, but you've done it! Congrats!
03/16/2005 10:16:35 AM
Great concept !! ;)
03/16/2005 02:20:59 AM
I like your concept
03/16/2005 02:03:53 AM
very clever...
03/16/2005 01:07:21 AM
I really like this photo. It's well executed and has a great title.
