The 'mysterious' white bar was some kind of Photoshop 'gift'. I have no idea how it got there or why i didn't see it. The lighting was not as good as i had hoped for, but the best i was ablt to achieve. I am still learning! The spot light was sipposed to be equallyon the two pawns, but black is a tough color to light, especially so next to white. Thanks to all those that commented.
The very first thing I see in this shot is the mysterious white bar across the top of the shot. Is this intentional (if so I have no idea what it means) or did you crop to far? The center pawn is overexposed. Your composition is good, but I think a reshoot would be a good exercise!

Good concept, but I think the blue background takes away from the drama of the shot. Also white speckles are distracting. Go for black and white or sepia for this one.
A very good expression of humanity' most ancient conflict is a domesticated form.Experts would say there is too much light given on the white chess -figures in the middle and they would be right.The idea is very good, worth of a few more experiments.
