Great idea, wonderful lighting with the clear pieces. However ... Queen gets her color on inital set up, and the move shown is d4.

I don't like the glare, but you've chosen an interesting way to compose this. There're a lot of chess shots, I hope you do well.

Good luck.

Nice idea, composition works well, centred along one axis but with the focal point on the horizontal lower third.

As an artist this shots enough to give me the chills. Very crip image with lots of brilliant details on the wood grain. The use of graphite is definately an original concept for this challenge and fits it very well. I feel that your choice to use B&W was a good one it adds alot more impact to the image and draws the viewer to the grains. I feel thet the colors would have been to distracting. Very nice job 8
