		| | I'll be probably the 20th person to say 'lose' not 'loose'.  Regardless, I like the idea.  Nice focus and lighting, although I wish the background was solid and not wrinkled.  Also I might have removed the pawn since it stands out from the rest and is not meant to. |

		| | Very good table-top image - not really belonging to the theme of Life, but I guess a dead bishop does sort of fit the bill. |

		| | At least it isn't the king that is down; life can go on! Well, it's obvious this isn't a real game since the pieces aren't on the squares, but it is a nice still life. The way the pieces refract the light and the board reflects it makes this image very attractive. |

		| | I love looking at this shot; there is something very appealing about it.  My eye is drawn directly to the pawn who "lost" and the detail, lighting and focus are right on. |

		| | Nice composition. I do think the bouncing light is a bit of a distraction. |

		| | Beautiful colors and textures.  Two things bother me - the backdrop is a bit messy (but a nice color), and the horizon is just off enough for me to notice.  Other than that, a very nice effort. |

		| | A solid black back-drop may have worked better for this. I love the composition though. |

		| | The chess piece nearest to the front is to distracting, also I believe you have the queen laying on its side, to show defeat it should be the king, nice idea. |
