My favorite people shot of the week (cept for mine :-)
Love the guy in the hat, glasses and coat. He is stylish whether he intended to be or not and makes the shot..which I am sure is why you took his photo:-)
I like photographs of people much more than photographs of objects, which this challenge is full of. This is my favourite chess picture so far. The expression on the man's face and extended arm are very poignant.
extremely difficult to get a reasonable exposure here with sunlight and shadow - fill-in flash needed low down at maybe table level from right and camera set a couple of stops under exposed
I like the use of what appears to be natural light in this photo. The look of concentration is evident even with the sunglasses. A good photograph. I might have tried to crop out the lower left just a little bit.
The overexposure of the chess board and the background elements are a bit distracting, though this does present a more spontaneous (I think) picture than many of the other ones here
This is definitely one one of my favorites this week... It's not a technically excellent photo but you have captured the intensity of this chess match. I love watching these outdoor chess matches.. These guys are usually playing for money and they are quite impressive players as well. I would love to hear the story behind this photo after the challenge. If you want to tell me the story sooner, this comment is coming from jmsetzler or tell me at setzler@charter.net via email. This is an INTENSE score of 10 for capturing some raw and unabridged emotion! Excellent!
Good work, I like what you've done and where you were going with this. I feel the composition could of been improved but ya work with what ya got! Nice job.
i'd have stood on a chair to take this shot.. maybe underexposed a smidgen to get rid of glare if neccesary. beats all those fucking dominoes shots though, eh?
