one of the few choices relating to school days, and a nice composition. I am less a fan of the desat.

one of the few choices relating to school days, and a nice composition with good tones. DOF limited to the hands is a nice touch, as well as his look.

Quite a fex similar shoots in this challegne, but I find yours the best executed. Nice tones and composition.

Orange Slice

Comment:
Nice contrast between color and background. However, seems a bit oversharpened and the face is a little hidden.

actually I think the only thing that could be improved would be the light. it's not that bad. It could be much worse, like a neon over the top casting some harsh green light...

but who am I to give advice to a brown master...

The idea is fun although not very orignal I'm afraid (lots of chessboard pictures around). Furthermore it's a dull chessboard. Would have been better with more original pieces (glass etc.)

There is definitely a good use of DOF, that meets the challenge.

There are some serious technical issues IMHO though:
1/ shade is full a noise, which is really bad

2/ lighting is not good either. Too harsh, and from above. Looks as if it is shot under a ceiling neon of some kind. Try a more lateral, more difuse lighting.

3/ greenish B&W.

Hope I'm not too harsh in my comments, and that it can help.
