Set up the board and the white players under the glass. Looking into the monitor of the camera, set up the black palyers. Sprayed water over the glass. Took various shots.

What I am seeing here: black and white; under and over; and the least obvious but MOST thought provoking: liquid and solid / water and ice. This composition is truly genius. How did you do this? It looks like you froze a chess board in a block of ice. You deserve to win this competition by a long shot - truly the most amazing photo I have seen on DPChallenge for a looooong time. With this photograph, you have managed to rekindle my passion for photography and for DPChallenge. A well-deserved 10 for what promises to be a well-deserved 1st place blue ribbon!
I see what you've done here with glass and water. Good effort.
Good idea. Just me being picky, I would have liked the water droplets to be more round and beady...Rainx on the glass would have done this. Try it!
Better than average take on the chess view of the challenge. I really have nothing to gripe about on this photo, hence a 10. I'd really like to understand the technique though. It looks really interesting.
I like the pictutre, and that it's black and white, but I don't know about the water. I think I would have liked it better with a depth of field, with soft focus, not water.
A fresh take on the chess set. I like the water drops, think I know how you did it, and hope you didn't put n/a in the photographer's box. Meets the challenge. Your border maybe just a skosh thick.
I don't unnderstand the meaning of the water droplets. If they are only a device to make the picture look different, they succeed, but don't elevate the picture to any new height of interest or relevance.
Extremely creative - I love that you took the time to do something different and make what might have been an ordinary shot a little more over-the-top! That being said, I'd perhaps like to see the whites just a tiny bit whiter to add a bit more drama. Still great, though. I look forward to seeing exactly how you did this! 8
