Another photo of chess pieces? Ho hum... The photo is fine and appropriate for the challenge. The subject matter is not original for my tastes.

Chess...the natural choice for a B/W challenge. Why didn't I think of that? This is very well done. I like the fairly shallow DOF. My only gripe is the position of the pawn. It is perfect composition wise, but it feels very strange to have a pawn on the edge of the board from a chess point of view.

I expected a lot more of this kind of shot. Nice composition and dof.
