A tribute to whiterook who mysteriously disappeared from DPC after the "Fruits and Vegetables II" challenge. I hear he'll be back in a month or two, but have no clue as to why he's been put in the DPC icebox. I thought I'd go looking for him, but though I found fruits and vegetables and several other chess pieces in there, he wasn't to be found in my icebox.

This is tragic. You were outbrowned by a newbie with natural talent. For what it's worth, I don't think my 10 counted since your picture was the only one I voted on. :D

wow, this was quite the tribute. i thought the exclusion of the rook was too clever for an actual whiterook photo...

Sorry, just dull

Odd. Out of focus. If you wanted to do something with the chess pieces in the ice tray, then focus on that as your subject. As it is, it's just clutter.

Chess pieces in an ice tray? I think there's a statement here, but I can't find it. I think there some ice below that Bishop, too.

Lack of contrast, highs and lows, and a major focus point.

Wheres the ice?

Go whiterook! Maybe this time...

mmmmmmmmmm sorry but this has to be the worst shot here, what are you trying to convey, the lighting is poor, focus poor, grain/noise poor, i think you need to head back to the drawing board with this shot and try harder

where you bringing the ice chess instead of chest? The black pieces would have stood out better

whiterook If we all start giving you tens to prevent the brown you might get a blue 5

The lighting of this image is not vey good. It has a dusty look to it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/02/2007 02:05:52 PM
this is either whiterook being brilliant or a brilliant spoof. 10

killin' me, dude! this is hilarious...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/01/2007 09:31:52 PM
Coincidence that there is no rook in that set? I think not... no brown for you, rookie, 10 from me!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Sorry to say but there is a lot to be done here to make this a better photograph.
Including in Basic editing is:
Levels, this can take the grayness away.
NeatImage, this can smoothen the image.

Mr Brown man does it again,, this shot is total CRUD!!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/01/2007 08:51:37 AM
guess this is a fake whiterook - would he do black and white?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/01/2007 03:06:56 AM
'Sic Vegetables' is totally right - Great crop. Gotta be Whiterook would be my guess. It's perfectly awful and the Chess pieces are classic. I don't vote lower then 4...sorry. Now close the freezer door...then fruits are startin' to thaw! Take care...

I think you could have made this with a little more contrast or shadow to bring out the chess pieces more. They seem to recede into the picture instead of being a main focal point. I am not sure HOW I would have done this picture in as small of a space as a freezer, but maybe without the full wattage of the fridge light and maybe a small spot on the chess pieces.... I don't know. I like the idea of the shot... just a litle too washed out for my tastes. Nice thought though!

Haahahaha!!! I love it! :o)

I'm not sure what to make of this. Chess pieces in the ice cube tray...might be a decent idea if the photo were just focused on that. As it is, it just seems kind of random. Also, the image is not very sharp.

Does not appear to honor winter.

No ice, kinda grainy, and soft focus. And why are chess men in the freezer?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

very interesting desing!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/28/2007 12:12:53 PM
overall not a very good photograph out of focuse B&W does nothing for this subject matter uninteresting and besides there is no ICE

Is that a Whiterook in the ice tray?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/28/2007 09:05:51 AM
whiterook ... had to get the chess pieces in there!

Too soft. Looks like something taken from a camera-phone.
