| Great chess table - not sure why you have the remote control and shell there, I feel it detracts from the picture. |

| The temptation to view this as a "throw in" image to the challenge was significant. When faced with this impression, the correct choice was to back off and take a longer look. There are several positive aspects to this image begining with the wonderful wood table and board - there is lots of character there and interesting details properly exposed. The intricate detail of the tan chess pieces is a plus. The subtle background is also a huge plus being very neutral in tone and texture. Unfortunately, the odd lighting angle didn't do this image any favors creating highlights that wash out the interesting tones and colors of the table. Additionally, the black chess pieces lost all the intricate detail present on the tan pieces. Taking a piece of blank paper, one can see the difference by isolating the tan pieces and viewing them seperatly from the entire construction. More thought into how this set piece was lighted would have helped it tremendously and made it a potential ribbon winner - there is a lot of positive potential in this image and the author should be encouraged to revisit this scene keeping in mind the lighting problems. |
