 Last min attempt after telling myself I don't have time for this with the holiday coming up. My normal 45 minute drive home from work turned into a 2 hour creep and crawl due to an icy snowstorm which I had plenty of time to think and think. So, during this time I envisioned this idea. I had only 30 minutes to set up snap 6 shots and edit and send. THIS IS THE LAST TIME I ACT ON AN IMPULSE AND DO NOT WORK MY WAY THROUGH IT AND GIVE MYSELF MORE THAN JUST 30 MINUTES . At first glance it seemed rich and interesting. If had to it again I would have focused more on the getting the camera over the board and light up the back ground just a tad more.
The intent was to appear that the player got mad and tossed the table. I wanted to have all of the pieces in motion but did not have the time to do this.

Personally, I think this missed the point of the challenge entirely...

Too contrasty,losing the details in the black. The tiltd board does nothing for me aesthetically, and I can make little sense of it.

great imagination, I am wishing the background chair had more lighting to bring it out. 7

The diagonal is forced. There are so many diagonal possibilities with a chess board, that tilting the camera seems unnecessary.

Too much black space. I do not enjoy this composition.

again - tipping a camera to create a diagonal.......

Diagonal composition feels forced; maybe a perspective from a corner looking up onto the board? Lighting is a bit harsh, background not adding to the image.
