Took a long time to get this shot, the two kings kept rolling around. Desaturated it in photoshop, also adjusted the levels, saturation, and brightness a little. Hope you like it.

I agree with all of you on the shadow, I actually didn't use any light s for this photo. I just took it next to a window. I couldn't get rid of the grain since neat image isn't alowed in this challenge. I did try neat image, and it did helpe a lot, gave the photo soft focus, and got rid of almost all of the grain.
Good concept but I believe that better lighting particularly in area between pieces would have made this pic strikingly better. Focus also appears a bit weak.
Great idea, the Black and white background really set it off. The only thing I would change is the Line between the B & W paper would be in the middle or in between the pieces. But that is just me....I gave you a 9
This was one of my top 3 rated photos for this challenge. I think its a bit of a stretch for the topic, but it is definitely one of the better taken photos. Good symmetry, well lit and well shot. 8
In almost any other competition, this would get a *great* score from me, because the focus, composition, contrast, and, well, *everything* are great. However, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the zodiac (either of them), so I have to grade it way down in this particular competition. :-/ Beautiful image, though.
