Challenge: Stupid, Stupid! (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Panasonic DMC-FZ20
Location: home
Date: Aug 11, 2006
Aperture: F4,6
ISO: 400
Shutter: 0,5 sec

tried with long exposure to make it look like the hand moves the draught, but that didn't work, probably due to lack of experience. Now I don't think everyone sees the stupidness of that draughtmove...
Used black and white because of an awful stain on the draughtbord(which you still see)

It seems a little soft to me. A shade more contrast and a touch more sharpening. I’m not sure where the sharpness went – is it a focus issue or lost in post-prossesing?

I see! It took a while but know I what is so stupid in here. Cool idea, but unfortunately the shot is a bit blury. The fingers are pretty and fit well.

Pretty funny! I'd like it better in color, without the water(?) stains on the board, but it is still a great idea.

The colouration is a little strange and the board would be better lined up with the edges of the frame

Sorry but I don't see the Stupid, Stupid part of this image. The closest I can come to for Stupidity is that the black still thinks they have a chance to win even though there is only one black piece remaining. This image also suffers from poor contrast. The whites need to be whiter and the blacks blacker. I suggest you read the B&W conversion tutorial written by photomann under the Learn/Tutorial menu.

Edit: Now I see the Stupid, Stupid part, as the black piece will actually win. Guess I was too stupid to catch it.

That's pretty stupid!
As a picture it's really dark, I think it'd be improved with some more light or even color. It seems a little bland.

Needs more contrast.

What I like: Great idea, well executed

What I don't like: Constrast seems a bit low, hard to see the black piece, might be a bit overcompressed (looking at the detail around the hand)

Overall the tones in this shot are really flat. I think a bump up in brightness / contrast would help this out a ton. I do like that you've made the viewer stop and think about what it is I'm looking at and you've setup the board perfectly. Few tweaks and I think you'll have something.
