i like the selective focus, if i could have my way id add a little more contrast and maybe move a little bit closer to the king and queem, really just squeeze them in there.

Slightly too blurry.

Comment by Arcanist:
Dof is a bit low for this image (to me) and the lighting seems flat, not dynamic. Overall a good image that has a tough translation to the challenge.

Comment by h2:
DOF is too shallow for my taste, lacks a bit of fore-/background contrast

I like this photo a lot, but the depth of field seems a little too narrow. If you could have managed to move the focus forward about 3/4" it probably would have worked out better. (There's some of the front board that's in focus, but the back of the king/queen are OOF.)

great expression, but I feel like the blurriness of the photo detracts from its meaning.
