A nice shot. I agree with the comment about fore ground space, but I like the amount of negative space; its seems commentary on the corporate world. Effective use of lighting and focus, though you may want to comsider burning in that bit of glare at the bottom of the prominent pawn.
Nice shot and nice idea, but it might've been a little better from a lover perspective, and with the in-focus pawn further away from the other piecers. Again, I love your idea. 6
Iit's a very good shot, I think it would've been stronger with more blurred background and less tight crop in front of the pawn to emphasize the perspective
