light too harsh and cropped too tightly for my tastes. Nice idea though.

i think this is quite funny! i would recommend a shallow depth of field on the soldier to make him stand out more though. good choice (imo) with b&w tones though. i think a little different vantage point would have made the comp more interesting too. good luck!

Your "out of place" soldier is quite hard to see.. great idea though

Love it, brilliant concept. Focus seems just a bit off to me though (or maybe it's just noise).

I probably found this way to amusing...but I got a great chuckle......great shot.

cool -- I was actually expecting to see lots of lame "game piece" ideas but yours actually delivers a clever conceptual pun, a soldier as a pawn. The shot is a little flat and the DOF is sort of 'neither here nor there'. It shows some blurring at the very front, but not enough to look intentional.

Favorite of the Chess photos. Except for the eronneous dust or something in one of the black squares, a good shot.

Brilliant! For me this is by far the best of the chess photos that have appeared in the challenge, mainly because the soldier just helps create the feeling of a battle grounds. Even though he's the one out of place, he makes you think the other pieces are all ready to fight as well :-) Well done!

Flat!
03/31/2004 01:56:25 AM
Heh.

I think this would be a really awesome picture with higher contrast, as well as less grain. Maybe better composition too. But I really like the idea. 6.

cute idea ... i would have liked more contrast though (blacker black)

the toy soldier should have had some color and up a bit since it gets lost in the black and white starkness.
03/31/2004 12:39:11 AM
took me a while but i love this . so subltle but effective

I like the idea, personally, I would have like to see a white and black pawn switched
