My evil twin photo. :) I like yours a whole lot better than mine. lol. The angle is great, and the reflection is quite nice. You got the lighting just perfect for the shot. Great job!

I like your picture.

This is just superb ΓΆ€“ really like the lighting and composition. The reflection is subtle ΓΆ€“ I like that a lot. The darkness of the background has the effect of focusing all the power in the shot directly onto the subject making it really punch out ΓΆ€“ this effect is also enhanced by the use of the diagonal line ΓΆ€“ adding even more drama. Finally, to finish off, just a twist of backlight, and the cocktail is complete. The final mix produces one hellishly stunning shot... First class photography (10+++)

Beautifull light, subtle and soft reflection. Like it.

Nice lighting, I'd be interested to see how you did it. I wish the reflection was just a wee bit brighter. I like the angle a lot. Good job. DPz

tough to expose for, maybe a black piece would've let you light meter for the piece, the board, and the reflection, but i dunno. chess rules though.

Very simply and artistic!

The reflection is a little too dark for my taste. It's more a hint than a subject (this being a reflection challenge and all). Good photo never the less. 7.

I like the angle at which this was taken. 6 sjgleah

9. 10 if it was set up vertically.... The lines just don't do much for me at angles...

Nice use of the negative effect. However the reflection could be a little sharper.
09/30/2002 01:35:00 AM
This is totally beautiful !!!! VERY well done !!! A 10 ! Shiiizzzam

Subtle reflection, but it's there! This is visually appealing. I like the position and angle that you shot this at also. The background/reflective surface works quite well - kind of like a black hole... - JB
