Seems a little blurred, try resting the camera on a surface if the room is dark.

The focus seems a little off, interesting idea I'd love you to try and explain the rules of this game :)

I used to play this game all the time.

You got alot of games going on here, kinda like th ieda, wouldn't have shot it on the carpet thought, maybe try a darker background next time to keep the attention only on the subject.

Too much carpet, not enough focus.
05/23/2002 09:26:00 PM
a bit unfocused but good creativity
05/22/2002 09:59:00 PM
could have a better background for this. But it was a good idea
05/22/2002 03:49:00 PM
Cute idea. My chess shot has similar problems. Square subject at an angle doesn't come off well. My background had problems, too.

Unique take on a couple games. The concept is original but the photo is slightly out of focus.

Heheheh....

Aarrgghh... I'm confused! You have two dice, money, monopoly characters and half a chess set... I think you'll have to explain the rules for this one! It certainly got me thinking though.
05/21/2002 03:15:00 PM
Sorry, but this looks pretty out of focus on my monitor
05/21/2002 01:20:00 PM
Needs better focusing on the pieces to really catch the eye.
05/21/2002 12:42:00 PM
I'm having trouble deciding if this is "just a game" or an actual representation of the current state of world affairs...I'm rating it higher hoping it' the latter...

house to E4 - interesting idea, although I'm not quite sure how the game would work :) I would probably have left the Monopoly money and dice out. The photo doesn't seem quite sharp enough, and the lighting is a bit flat. Shift the camera to the right slightly and you'd get all the bills in too

Not very well focused.

Dog to C,3.

Love the creativity but the focus steals the game.
05/20/2002 01:55:00 PM
Interesting idea of combining all the popular games into one, I like that. I would've preferred a litle more focus on the "black" pieces, and, as useful as the numbers/letters are for a budding chess player, I think they are a little distracting in this photo.
05/20/2002 01:12:00 PM
I wish this was sharper, less carpet - and what game(s) are we playing here? Looks interesting anyway.
05/20/2002 01:12:00 PM
no commen t!
05/20/2002 11:54:00 AM
This is a unique idea for this challenge! I like it! The lighting is just a tad weak and i believe 'leveling' it out just a bid would have added some to the image is well.. it looks like the camera is tilted slightly to the right... good job!
05/20/2002 10:55:00 AM
The brown carpet doesn't help draw your eye to the board.
05/20/2002 10:55:00 AM
Fun shot, poor focus and light. Great idea and good composition.
05/20/2002 01:19:00 AM
Blurry dammit!
