		| | not bad at all ... The reflection cpuld be more in focus.
 I like the way the Image was composed, fitting the title.

		| | I like the way the checker board reflects on the pawn, good glass definition. |

		| | the theme was great, i just wanted to  see a little bit more of the king becuase i think it was drowning in blurriness (if there is such word) ..you know what i mean! (^o^) |

		| | This   -- a l m o s t -- works for me.  Wish the king were more obvious.  Gave it a "6" nonetheless. |

		| | The reflection in the top of the pawn is good, but the photo has no blacks or whites which suggests you need to increase the contrast a bit in post processing. Also, use USM to make it sharper as its all a bit soft at the moment. |

		| | I really like the composition and the reflections you were able to get in the top of the pawn - great job! |

		| | This was  a great idea but too much of the photo is out of focus.  Perhaps if you had made the sharper focused one a larger part - the main part and had the out of focus one to be behind and smaller. . . . . |

		| | An interesting twist on the drop-of-water-as-lens cliche. Unfortunately not quite sharp. |

		| | I've begun to wonder if the twin chess photogs are actually playing a real game through this forum with each of their challenges...  ah well.  Tho some may be tired of the subject, I am enjoying the extended study of Opaque vs Transparent and their varied interpretations. |
