I like the way you've set the game up in front of the board. it is more interesting than just shooting it "straight on." Maybe more light and a faster shutter speed to clear things up a bit?

Very pixellated, I think someone needs a new camera. I've never seen this much grain from a digital camera before, check your settings.

This is too grainy, you need more light. Try using a flash (Or lots of room lights) and take the picture again and see what it looks like. Looking at the thumbnail(small size picture) , it doesn't look quite so bad, so make sure before you sumbit that you check it out at full size.

Interesting use of angles here.

Your camera seems to be letting you down with all the noise, Digital cameras are very sensitive to light conditions and less expensive digitals especially. You saved this photo at the 150k limit so I am assuming this is a problem with low lighting and too much gamma correction in the computer.

A good rule is that you can't really save bad lighting in photo editing by more than maybe a couple of steps before noise and other junk starts to mess with your photo. But good idea though.

Photography is all about light. Where is it coming from (what kind of shadows does it make)? Is it hard light, like on a sunny day, or soft light like a day with lots of clouds? I like the way you used a light from above to light up the pins in the battleship board. They've got highlights on the top edge and shadows on the bottom, and the clear blue plastic catches the light nicely, too. You might think about zooming in on that for another picture.
It looks like you used a high ISO setting for this picture (or the camera picked one for you). With most digital cameras, anything but the lowest ISO setting will not give you very good results. It's better to add more light instead of "turning up the volume" on the CCD by raising the ISO. That's what caused the colored speckles. To make this one better, you might try making it black and white. Then the colored noise will look more like the grain you see on fast black and white film.
