Letting go is to me letting all that you face in your normal life go, and just relaxing for a weekend. What could be more relaxing than a quiet game of chess in a peaceful environment.
That's what this is. Peace and quiet.
PS7: slight crop, convert to sepia, resize, usm, gassian blur (fade to 20%) and border.
Relax....

Cool idea! I like you interpretation on the challenge.
For some reason I find a litte too much distraction in the picture. Maybe I just too much light, but my eye wonders around quite a bit. All in all, a nice take! Good luck!
I really like the photo, although I'm having a tough time connecting it to "Letting Go". I suppose you could say it's letting go of the day's concerns and enjoying the game? Anyway, this shot is very inviting. I like the angle of the chairs, the lighting, and the nice sharp focus on the chess board.
Great composition. There's a glow at the left, a glow in the center, then a glow at the upper right so your eye sweeps through the photo with interesting textures and plays of light along the way.
