 This is a picture of a 1 1/2 year old Cairn Terrier. He is a great dog and does sit/stay and down/stay. He is a pet only not a show dog. He is an easy subject to take pictures of. I have many really good pictures of him.

It would have been better if the pieces were in focus.

Very cute.

Where's the other king? The picture could have been straightened more and could have used a sharper focus - use a larger F-stop value (smaller aperture setting) in conjunction with a faster shutter speed to keep the exposure right. The composition could be a little better too. But the exposure is nice and a good idea. Good luck!

Very cute image,
Rotating a little so the board is parallel would help a bit.

I love the contrast between the rough coat of the dog and the smooth surface of the chessboard

Cute idea, but the board's all wrong for anyone who actually plays chess. There is no white king and the black king's not in mate. The pup looks just right, but the pieces don't.

i like this shot...but i would have actually arranged the pieces so that it was a check mate....adds some validity

LOL. Very funny and well done. What's with all the "dust" in the background? On your CCD?
