 I went to take some pictures of chess players hanging out and playing at Dupont Circle, in Washington DC. A lot of them are homeless. Some hustle. Some are just guys who like to play chess. I hung out with them and talked for 3 or 4 hours.

Nice photo. I know this guy... he doesn't like to be photographed too much. I like the close crop and tone, but the cigarette really makes the photo. Cheers.

Need a tighter set on the levels, there's no touch of white, nice composition, 6.

I like the contrast-I would think of a character like that playing chess out on the street. Looks like a serious game.

You nailed the challenge conceptually. This would be a ten without the distractions in the background.

Not a terribly good shot imo but one of the only three that actually meets the Challenge. You may very well Ribbon with this. Good Luck!

i like the fous on the man and the perspective - i am not sure about the sepia choice, but it's cleary one of the better entries in the challenge

subject matches well, note too sure on the duotone the color is a tad too strong. composition seems lacking, would like to see more board and perhaps a bit of the opponent

Nice portrait and composition. Point well made too. Other than the contrast which I think can be improved, this is a fine shot.

I like the concept but the hand in the left corner is distracting, I would have cropped it out.
