over all technically good, with just the hands as contributing to boredom to the rest of the image, it lacks a little emotion for me, maybe a different colored shirt, the hands seem to get lost in the image, I like the B&W......5
Nicely done. I really don't see anything I'd change. I don't often like grayscale but it fits here. BTW, thanks for the shot of the Lewis Chessmen on a board. I don't think I've ever seen them actually in use.
WHOA!!! I almost missed this by a hair! Phew! You can't do that to unsuspecting voters. Capitol Job! That queen is the epitome of bored. I won't even mark you off for the fact that she is leaning on her hand, like 50% of the subjects in this challenge. :-) The hands in the background keep me from giving you a 10 though, as they are very distracting. 9+ though.
