Crop off a little of the left side of the image. Otherwise, it looks great.

There will be plenty of chess pieces in this challenge, I'm sure. but this is nicely done.

The perspective of the chess-board is well executed, with a narrow depth of field to make the board blur towards us. The reflections of the pieces works well, too.

I might've tried cropping some off the top, and maybe reframing to make for one-third/two-third split of back vs white, rather than three-quarters/one quarter. Nitpicking, though - overall it works well.

I love the humor here; there is a sense of play, of conversation, of him and her. Pity the white background in the upper right has visible gradation lines. Still, this one just makes me smile, so it's my favorite.

I used to live in Nashville. I know that people can read there. Your pix had so much potential, but you forgot to do one thing, right??

The midtones are ok in this b&w, the windows are way overblown, the blacks are too deep. Pure blacks and whites 'must' have texture to be convinceing. Nice lighting, nice lines, comp ok could be better.

Don't give up, try again. Next time re-read the challenge rules.

Good luck.
