I agree with all the comments here! Very cool shot! The motion was a great touch. The lighting, framing and DOF are all perfect. No 1's, so you must have not gotten "too" torched for game vs. sport issue.
A very interesting chess shot. I like the motion blur on the pawn in the middle of the row of pawns. I personally don't see chess as a sport, but I like this shot. Nice sepia tones and interesting concept.
great chess shot. the movement of the pawn is great...wish i knew how you did it! The lighting is good too - I can't tell if I like the fact that the queen is brighter than all the other pieces. nice work.
Outstanding. Beautifully done image. The moving king pawn opening is a great touch. Lighting is spectacular. Framing is terrific. Hope this image is not hurt by those that think chess is "not sports". One of the best in this challenge.
The lighting here is very cool... and the action of that one moving pawn is great :-) I'm not sure how you did that (a string?) without using your fingers but it's pretty cool, Looks like they are moving on their own accord, hence playing a sport :-) I like your spotlighting effect here, very nicely done. This is a good artsy take on sports challenge. I can't decide whether it is a sport or not, but I was kind of looking for human interaction (thats my point of view) still a solid -8- though. nice job :-)
I like the colors and the lighting, but I don't care for the blur on the front pawn very much, I think it takes away from the rest of the photo. Also I like the border, works well with this photo.
I still say chess is a game and not a sport, but no matter.. I think this is a great picture. Might like to see a bit more of the board or a tighter crop on the right side.
