hey thanks ofr the comments everyone! i know the white queen should be placed on the white space because i play chess a lot and ironically a friend actually asked me if it was supposed to be the other way around while i was starting to set it up. but somehow i still got it wrong...aye all those years of middle school chess tournaments failed me, such a nerd such a nerd

White queen should be on a white square - board is oriented incorrectly. Sorry but that's a deduction. Technically an OK photo but something is keeping it back from being dramatic. Maybe I just can't get past that darn queen on the dark square....uurgh!

I am as tired of chess shots as others are of pets and kiddie pics, but this is very nicely done, beautifully lit, and sharp focus. I like that the unlit pieces are also in focus and reflecting a few shots of light. Also fits the challenge well.

Shouldn't the queen for white/clear be on white/clear or did I forget the game.

I love the way the light shines through the glass pieces. Wish there was a little more light in the background, everything fades extremely quickly. Good angle for this shot.

I don't feel that the image conveys instantly recognizable decision. No people, people make chess pieces move, other wise this would have been up there mate. Nice pic!

The lighting here adds so much. It is especially beautiful with the reflection int he chess board and the transparent chess pieces. Very nice example of a decision made.

Great idea, wonderful lighting with the clear pieces. However ... Queen gets her color on inital set up, and the move shown is d4.

I don't like the glare, but you've chosen an interesting way to compose this. There're a lot of chess shots, I hope you do well.

Good luck.
