Overall, I love this piece! My only criticisms, and I should mention that they are VERY minor ones, are that I would have prefered to see the same texture in the white background as I see in the black, and you may have been better served by shifting the image to a true B&W to eliviate the tonal differences between the "white" knight and the "white" background" -- I do find each of those just the slightest bit distracting.

Good Idea. Detail on the black knight is missing
perhaps a little spot/frontal lighting on the black knight would have given more detail.

A very nicely executed shot. The contrast and detail on the black horse is lost a little - setting the background further away might help to make the background disappear more. The black knight is cropped a little short on the right side.

The black knight is underexposed.

A good one for this subject.

Very good idea.. Maby it would even be nicer if their nose would touch on the border and you could see the exact same of the knights(horses). 6

good idea, but the lighting is too sharp. a more uniform light would have been much better.

should include the entire chess pieces... also should try to go for a background that matches the pieces

very good idea, nice composition, but you're working with glossy figures, work with your lighting to get rid of glare spots.

interesting juxtaposition! but instead of a bluish background it should have been white so you have white on black and black on white.

Nice job, excellent idea but it doesn't have much bang! Good idea though keep working on it...

Nice idea! I like this better than the other yin-yang ones I've seen so far. But I wish you had pulled off full symmetry here, and maybe true color symmetry as well.
