Maybe a can of peas would have been better for a peas challenge? Not that that would make me cringe any less at the thought of breaking my teeth on a can. Ouch.

This is a cute picture, but the can should have been of peas - the green kind.

Where are the peas? This is a challenge for peas, you are showing a woman and a can of corn.

Greetings from the Critique Club,

Hi Róbert,

Congratulations on this shot - not a negative comment to be seen. I like the tones; especially the B&W in B&W. Very nice. This is technically fine - all in focus and well lit.

Regarding the composition. I feel there are a number of areas you could have improved upon for a higher score. It is a great shame that the top of shadow to the black king has been cut of. The perspective of the checks on the board is a bit odd, the way they start parallel to the frame on the left and finish at such an angle to the right - this really throws the eye out. For some reason the whole balance of the shot conveys to me a feeling of angst - I can't really put my finger on exactly what though. My guess is that this is why the shot did not do as well as all the comments indicate it should.

I have always found the following article on the impact on lines and shapes in composition very useful: //ronbigelow.com/articles/adv_comp/adv_comp.htm

I hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges! Keep on that hunt for the ribbon.

Cheers
Paul
