Wonderful lighting. I think as a photo it would be better without the motion blur, but then, action is suppose to be shown, so well done.

The lighting here is very cool... and the action of that one moving pawn is great :-) I'm not sure how you did that (a string?) without using your fingers but it's pretty cool, Looks like they are moving on their own accord, hence playing a sport :-) I like your spotlighting effect here, very nicely done. This is a good artsy take on sports challenge. I can't decide whether it is a sport or not, but I was kind of looking for human interaction (thats my point of view) still a solid -8- though. nice job :-)

Definately the best chess picture in this challenge! Nice use of light and shadows! Original touch of having motion blur on one of the pawns. - 10

great lighting by itself, and the motion on the pawn adds the action. the best chess shot in the challenge.

I like the colors and the lighting, but I don't care for the blur on the front pawn very much, I think it takes away from the rest of the photo. Also I like the border, works well with this photo.
