Very nice. The knight really stands out . Great colors and nice DOF- couldhave done equally good in the other challenge too. Central composition looks pleasing becuase of merging lines of the board.
nice! i like this one a lot. I love the detail in the figure, the checkard board is a nice contrast the only thing, even though its something small, that bothers be is the edge of the board where the checkers end and theres the rim or edge. This doesnt by any means ruin the picture i just think that if it wasnt there itd add to the picture. Clean cut edges of the boat rather then this kinda random color buffer. either way great work, i love this piece.
