Nothing special. Pieces of a chess set arranged, light bounced off a red plate for color, croped, highlights enhanced per turorial, sharpend, and neat imaged.

A clever idea with mundane objects. Good focus and color. A shallower DOF would really help rivet your attention on the central figure. I'd like to see the figures facing each other more (maybe from the left side) to play up the 'sharing' aspect.
Excellent detail and lighting, but there is way too much going on in the background to keep my attention on the center figure. A little less dof or I might have blurred the background to force the viewer back to the center. I like the shot, it is a great pic that I find it very interesting.
Interesting subject choice. Nice details of the statues/figurines but the image is oversharpened. Maybe a slight fill flash might have helped as the backlighting hides some of the finer details on the front and gives a feeling of being flat when we know it isn't.
Some strong elements here - think I would have composed a little more carefully to include the pawns in the background more evenly, as their apparently sniggering expressions are priceless. Technically, some sense of over-sharpening, pixelation along the brights of his hat etc. just makes it seem a touch heavily cropped, or over-processed. 6
