| Hey DanTzr isn't a Queen! All the action is in one corner(1/3) of the Shot. I believe the wall add something to the shot. I believe this shot is way above an average shot(5). Hey Fair one reason you get alot 5,4,3,1 beacuse they think it's my picture. Sorry! |

1-1
2-0
3-2
4-8
My image came in 37th, and still had the above scores.
I voted 100% and marked your photo a 5.
your image finished at 4.9704 so I was fairly close.
Do not be angry with the voters out loud, the comments will help you in future challenges.
There are several ellements why voters from a photographic point of view would vote down.
1. the vertcal edge on the right does not line up with the frame.
2. the white chess pieces appear to be leaning to the left
3. the contrasting color of the wall is not doing the image any favors
4. and in this image a tighter crop still useing the 1/3 rule would have given more impact.

Nate...
Wrong attitude, my friend. And please don't take this as a lecture. I never lecture... just talk constantly!!
I know it hurts to think that those 18 people gave you such low scores, but if you offset those with the 16 who scored you 7 or above, then your 4s, 5s and 6s together, divide by three to get the average... and you get... 4.95. Hey... if all of those low scores and all of those high scores were to be thrown out... your score would be lower. Imagine.
Okay... soapbox is put away my friend.
Thing to do is try to figure out WHY they scored your picture low since they didn't see fit to give you a reason... and for 1,2 and 3 scores it asks for one, if I am not mistaken.
Your shot is well lit, clear as my last divorce decree and all in all... a great picture. But...
Rule of thirds.... I can see how this could be in play here... but maybe some couldn't. Many people score an entry low for not meeting the challenge. For me... since the Knight is actually UNnecessary since the Queen and Bishop have all possible Kingly moves covered... I would have let the Knight have the day off thereby you would have had a total of 3 pieces in the bottom third of the board instead of 4 pieces. See what I mean?
Most of the comments you DID get compliment on the picture. I wish I had that result on my last challenge. It is too bad the low-scorers weren't sure enough of their convictions to have left a message.
If it is any consolation... if I had had access to a computer today, I would have scored it a 5.75...or a 6. Nice shot...obviously. A little off the challenge subject, but still close. But most of all... just not enough emphasis or drama shown in your picture.
Maybe if you had the King cowering in the corner while the other pieces were as close as they could bein their own square showing the intimidation they are throwing at the King...but that is just my addled brain thinking again.
Nice shot, Nate. But I do believe the overall score was probably justified.
Better luck next time!

To all 18 voters who gave me either a one or three in
voting; May your cameras break into a thousand pieces,
and you are forced to eat it.
