That seems to be the same chess board I have!

If this were posted on a 3D site it would be a great rendering... Awesome clarity and the lighting is dead on, 10

Very cool illusion here...and the photo is excellent...9

The boards gotta be see through and not reflective right? You have two pawns at either end on both sides of the board and the knight is only behind it? Great illusion!
Post actions
Nice work to create this illusion, clear and sharp image with plenty of intrigue.
Post actions
Very cool. Is it a reflection or see through.
Post actions
Very nice picure and very well done effect.
Post actions
Nicely done expectly with the glass board.

interesting idea, well executed, Photographing spherical g;ass objects can be rather difficult. You seemed to have mastered this well.
Post actions
Great! Looking forward to finding out how you did that!
Post actions
Figured this out - shadows tell the story!
Post actions
Certainly a nice illusion but I think I would like the chess board to be straight. the diagonal is a little distracting
Post actions
cool idea, just seems kind of boring. the shadows are a little off for the reflections, and the colors are kind of bland.
Post actions
I really like this...great idea. The chess board isn't straight across but that's okay
Post actions
CLean and simple - maybe a straighter, centered horizontal edge instead of the angle? Good job though.
Post actions
Okay, how'd you pull this one off....been trying to figure it out for a while now...awesome!

I have been trying to figure out how you did this... you'll have to give the details after the challenge. 10

Nice. It took me a couple of minutes to figure out what and how you did this but now I know. Pretty tricky. The give-away was the lack of shadow at the sandblasted area. Good illusion.

the tilt is distracting to me, but other than that, cool image

First Impression: Nice clear image. A bit harsh on the contrast of the real peices maybe.
Post actions
Cool effect, good color, nice detail. Good lighing.

I have been getting real tired of chess piece pictures, but I like this one and the illusion. The lighting and muted colors are great. The only thing...would it have been possible to have the same effect, but get the checkered board lines even with the top of the picture? The angle is distracting to me. 9

Looks like a photograph was used behind the pawns? I like the illusion.

Extremelly sharp and very, very interesting!

Very cool shot. Curious as to how you accomplished this one. Nice work.
Post actions
Excellent concept but the shadows give it away.
Post actions
creepy
Post actions
Interesting. I think I figured out how you did this. The chessboard is transparent glass, not a mirror. You actually have 3 pieces on the other side. Yes?
Post actions
very very cool... love the two colours here.... well taken.... 8

I always enjoy your chess shots. I recognize the glass board - my son enjoys the game. Well done.
