Well lets start my mini commenting spree on your highest scoring challenge entry (to date!) I hope things don't just downhill from here lol.
The 180 degree flip literally turns this shot around! Pawns are nice and sharp and I like the fact the background goes from white to blue. The board doesn't look perfectly level and for me its niggling (slightly). A simple shot but often the hardest to execute well, its well thought out and executed :) |

I like how the reflection of the pawns darkens them and turns them into pawns from the opposing side of the board.
i wish i had been voting at the time of this challenge. |

This picture is so striking. I'm really surprised that it didn't score much, much higher. It's so sharp and crisp, and well. . .just interesting to look at :)

| Very interesting. When I first saw it I thought it was a glass chess board with contrasting pieces attached to the top and bottom. |

| A very nice example of the inversion idea. I think it works so well because of the extreme clarity in the reflections, and also the waterdrop/icicle like shape of the pawns... very nice! One thing I think might help this image is the changing the color balance to remove the excess yellow or just convert to b/w.. |

| are the pawns standing on a mirror with a chessboard hovering on top of them and then inverted the shot? |
