Like the montone in this....you could have used a lot less pieces. Also the focus on some of the pieces appears soft. but OK you may not have been able to avoid it. But the it does look a might cluttered and the pieces are covering up some nice shadows. Perhaps you did not want them in the shot? I wish they were there.

This shot is lit beautifully, and I love the sharp focus on the chess pieces. Nice job!

Comment by Neuferland:
I haven't played chess in years so I couldn't even understand the moves here. The shot is a good idea for this challenge but the finished product is a bit wanting. On a shot like this I would expect to see clarity, sharpness and more defined light, brightness, contrast. The angle is nice and DOF isn't bad but the front peices are a bit too fuzzy for my taste. A 4
