Catherine, so this was your picture! IMHO it should have scored a lot higher. It's just beautiful. Pictures like yours tend to score a bit lower at this site, I'm guessing it's because people don't take (or don't have) the time to look slowly, but maybe it's something else. Who knows.

FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

Hello, Adrian,

First of all, congratulations on the new camera!

I don't know much at all about chess, and I assume that your title refers to a particular move or strategy in chess? It's a good title for a very good photo.

I love the colourisation you chose to use for this picture. IMHO, blue doesn't work all that well very often, but here it does, it looks beautiful!

Your focus on the middle three pieces is excellent. The back pieces OOF look almost like they're floating, or as if they're in a dream. IMO, keeping the transparent front pieces so out of focus is very good here, very beautiful.

I'm afraid that I'm not going to be of much help to you. I actually really like your shot, and think it should have scored higher than it did. One possible thing to try would be to have included the tops of the king, queen and one bishop in the background, but I'm not sure if that would add or distract. Same goes for the partial pieces to the right hand side.

Anyway. Keep up the good work, your pictures are very interesting. Take care,

Ursula
