 Seven pawns, lots of major pieces in the background... Seemed like a good idea at the time.

DOF is a bit out of kilter for me, and there's some distracting reflections on the chess board. But this is hands down my favorite of the challenge. 10

outstanding lighting, excellent contrast, thoughful and decisive composition. The highlights are a bit blown out, and it looks like you've sharpened the image quite a bit perhaps to compensate for a slight out-of-focus condition.

Ha! Great use of shadows. You can almost see the beads of sweat forming on those poor pawns. Wonderful composition. Bumping up to 9.

Focus is a bit soft. I think you'll get dinged for it quite a bit. But I love the concept and the DOF. GL.

I like the humor of the huge pieces

Creative thinking. Very good title and creative use of depth.

Nice sense of impending doom. I like how the background pieces are out of focus.

Good idea and reasonably well composed. Focus seems a littl soft for my taste. Maybe because it's because I am struggling with really sharp focus, but I seem to prefer it at the moment. In any event, hope this does well. It's a worthy shot.

Well these seven don't seem to be so lucky after all...
Very good use of light and depth of field; as this is a chess photo formation looks a bit awkward but it helps the composition :-)

needs more contrast

Lol. Nice shot. Like the composition with the various sized pawns, nice depth. Good luck....

cute. great use of shadow. really like the setup.

Nice idea, but hte shot is abit hazy. Try USM 30/60/1. The front large pawn blows out a bit, butteh board and shadows pop and sparkle more. If done to a layer you can blend it back with 50% or so opacity to reduce hte blow out. tought to fix that under basic editing rules.

funny

top thirty. It's distracting that the pieces don't match and are of different colors. Some weird wet spots on the left side. White blown out on the white pawn. Soft focus. Pretty good.
