I consider this OOB. everything is wood, so in a sense it all blends together. this reminds me of Stevens' Jar In Tennessee. A single item put into a place defines the place. whiterook defines his world...
Looks like nice details throughout the photo, however the blown section (flash or light) takes away quite a bit. Some color contrast would add more as well (bright white rook or other color). All of the colors in the photo are very similar making everything blend together.
I'm not big on the tone of this photograph. Perhaps a bit lower aspect and crop out the forground and background wood (make it more of a square) would help accentuate the rook. There is a light causing a glare on this pretty board. If you can reshoot, try moving the rook one square closer, get down lower and you might get rid of that glare (or move the light if possible). Then crop square. You might be pleasantly surprise. Nice idea.
This shot just seems to busy to have negative space in it. I'm looking all over the place. Maybe straightening out the picture and a tighter crop would have been better.
