Image seems too dark and a little out of focus. Given the position that poor king is beyond chaos, he is dead! Serves black right for loosing his queen.

Nice image, great perspective. The "jaggies" along some edges are its only major fault.

Good DOF, good lighting and a high quality image that is appropriate to the challenge. Generally speaking I find borders more distracting in images than helpful and that is true in this case. I would not and did not rate your fine image lower because of it.

You can't argue with a title like that. :) Great capture.

This has the artificial look of screwing around with the background on this one that is distracting to me, but the jumble of pigeons is nice.

Endless Chaos

I would have titled this one "organized chaos". It meets the challenge better than most images and is a very high quality image (Quality means more than anything). Great use of DOF and the ROT.

This image is more serene than chaotic to me, but that does not matter at all. It is very hard to resist the urge to over sharpen something like this. You did and the result is one great shot. Congrats on an excellent image.

...And Chaos Shall Rule

Duplicating and repeating an object in an image should be done sparingly. Just my opinion. The result is not bad, but it would have worked much better for me if you had worked harder to make some lights look like they were red, others green and some yellow to create more "chaos".

Perhaps the most creative attempt to photograph chaos. The final result is done so well it demands a high rating.

When the World is in Chaos, Turn to the Simple Things in Life

Interesting method to produce background chaos. Works well with a flower as main subject. Nice use of the ROT. The stamin is a little out of focus and that hurts this image some. I always evaluate images independent of challenge so asked myself if this image is good even if there were no challenge. My answer is yes. Great job.
