Greetings from the Critique Club. Thank you for entering the "Five", DPChallenge.
Very interesting choice for the challenge. A board game sort with checker looking objects. Can't say I am familiar with the game. Well you certainly met the challenge for "Five". You have five pieces on either side of the board. So you are actually looking at 5 + 5 = 10.
The composition and idea is a good one. Show five objects on a board. The diagonal display is a good option to show your photo.
Technically the image needs a better depth of field. The unfocus or blurry area's distract from the message of the photo. Again I am not sure how and why you placed the objects on the board in that order. It doesn't really matter, the point is that some of the objects especially the white ones need more detail and highlight. The white ones almost seem to glow from the ambiant lighting used. I see that you used a lens with f/2.8 aperture opening. It should have given you a better DOF.
Sometimes a hand held shot in lower light, turns in blurry. Try experimenting with different shot angels for better lighting.
The cropping used is good. However, a little tight on the right hand side. It appears to cut off some part of the white game piece.
Good idea's. A strategy/warfare board game sounds like a it may have had photo potential. Watch the lighting and focus.
Good luck in your next challenge.
