I was sure this pic was gonna get top scores... the best idea I've seen for this challenge. Maybe the focus threw some people but I really like this shot
A very nice take on the challenge. Yes, title is required in this case, but compared to all the other entries where even title can't help them, I am bumping this up a notch.
There the rule of 3rds is followed, although there is something with this image that bothers my eyes, I can't grasp what it is right now. I'll come back for more comments if I figure it out.
I like the blurred background, although the white stand the kings are placed on is a little distracting. Also, I think I figured out what's bothering me: the color of the background is too much like the color of the main objects. If you could have desaturated it just a weeny bit (not to lose all the color, just a little bit) or perhaps converted the whole photo to b/w, maybe it would have been better. Just a thought.
how does a chess metaphor make it into nearly every challenge?
This one is cheeky, but unsurprisingly enough, lacks the sort of emotion that i would want to see in this challenge.
I find the tonalitly in this shot, while suitably warm, muddles the lighter chess piece with the background. But I think you are right that the board needs to be in the near distance.... Cute idea/good title.
This is a "Concept Shot" that may actually do well in this challenge. Good job. My only critique: Aren't they really bitter enemies?!?! Lol. Keep up the good work. 8
