Comment by Donald:
Love the touch of color at the back. Too dark for me bumping up 2 more points after seeing artistic design very much appreciated. Love the added horizontal vertical pipe like lines. I would paint this with my watercolor and enjoy the challenge. OK up from 5 to 8 score. Nice job

:-) Yes. Well, mostly. It is a bit noisy / grainy. But I like the concept / story better than your entry.

Comment by glad2badad:
I'm a bit of a nit-picker and thought that 1) the board & pieces could have been cleaned prior to taking the photo, and 2) turn the pawns so the seam of the plastic pieces don't show.

For the allegory to work perhaps a white king and black pawns would have sold the concept better, unless I'm out in left field and missing the point.

Comment by posthumous:
I was going to say this is an impossible position, but it's not. black could have had a piece on c8, which was captured by the pawn on d7. If the pawn promotes to Queen or Rook, it's checkmate. If black has no other piece, and the pawn promotes to Bishop or Knight, the king can't move, and it's a Stalemate, a draw.

Comment by Donald:
Would have liked a ladybug added for color and interest that seemed missing to me. Best part of photo was the lines not placed directly into the corners of the frame.

Comment by Pangurban:
Love the composition and colours (and music reference ). My one little observation is that I’d have preferred the door to have been more in line with left hand side.

Comment by willem:
Was this the best standpoint and the best composition that could be achieved given the situation? I don’t like it. Sorry.
