I just have one thing to say. LOOK AT THE DANG PHOTO. Not to be rude or anything, but it's a glass chess board set with a backgammon board built in underneath. The reflections obviously cover most of the squares, but if you LOOK at the photo, in the bottom right corner, they are quite obvious. And to further point it out...the pawn in the bottom right is on a dark square.
Nice image and great reflections. It's a little incongruous to show a chess set on a backgammon board. Presume your chess board is not made of glass :) 9 Journey
I really would have voted a black background higher instead of the grass. This needs a dignified look, but I understand that may not have been your goal. 8 nards656
What really bugs me is that the chess pieces aren't on a chess board. Isn't that a backgammon board? Please forgive me if I'm wrong. Otherwise nice reflection.
Nice set! I think this is a good idea, but you might have executed it more effectively. The grass in the bg and the sky & tree reflections distract from the subject. You could try a solid bg indoors with some dramatic lighting to create the reflections. Wait..someone else did that! But I think the problem with their photo is that they didnt show the whole board. Combine the two and you've got it made. :o) The repetition of the pieces is really nice. You might also try just focusing on one side of the board with the line of pieces since the reflections on the front side are cut off anyway. Just some ideas. I do like the perspective. ~indi
