Thanks. While I appreciate the comment, honestly, I wouldn't change a thing with this photo. I really liked the color, tone, and feel of it. It was actually intentional. :-)

It could potentially look cleaner if you had desaturated the reds and yellows a bit, removing the yellow color cast from the white pieces. Then the white hightligs would blend in better on the whiter white pieces. Desaturating the green sider could also make the glass look "glassier".

Although this is a lovely photo of a chess set, I donĂ¢€™t really see the painting with light aspect; it appears to me that he board is lit underneath.

Gorgeous how both the matt and shiny chess pieces are shown here, plus the spotlight on the middle pawn.
