Go, in addition to being my last name, is also a strategy/warfare board game. Furthermore, in Japanese numerals, go = 5, hence five on five, on five.
f/2.8, handheld for 1/6 sec, no flash. Lighting provided by nasty fluorescent bulb on the ceiling and a bit of natural midday light through a nearby window, softened somewhat by a white lacy curtain.
Curves, cloned out three specks on the board and a line on the wall on the left side above the board, adjusted contrast, bordered, resized, USM, saved for web. |

Greetings from the Critique Club. Thank you for entering the "Five", DPChallenge.
Very interesting choice for the challenge. A board game sort with checker looking objects. Can't say I am familiar with the game. Well you certainly met the challenge for "Five". You have five pieces on either side of the board. So you are actually looking at 5 + 5 = 10.
The composition and idea is a good one. Show five objects on a board. The diagonal display is a good option to show your photo.
Technically the image needs a better depth of field. The unfocus or blurry area's distract from the message of the photo. Again I am not sure how and why you placed the objects on the board in that order. It doesn't really matter, the point is that some of the objects especially the white ones need more detail and highlight. The white ones almost seem to glow from the ambiant lighting used. I see that you used a lens with f/2.8 aperture opening. It should have given you a better DOF.
Sometimes a hand held shot in lower light, turns in blurry. Try experimenting with different shot angels for better lighting.
The cropping used is good. However, a little tight on the right hand side. It appears to cut off some part of the white game piece.
Good idea's. A strategy/warfare board game sounds like a it may have had photo potential. Watch the lighting and focus.
Good luck in your next challenge.

| I think this might have been better with a different angle or crop |

| Great idea. Background is a bit overwhelming here. A different angle might have given better focus. Still, you saw something unusual and went after it. Nice. |
