realy like this one! but I think that the colours are a bit to similar.. they like float together it gives the photo a quite blurred impression...
But still it's a nice photo!

yeah, you are right...I could have used a little different lighting. Actually there wasn't any lighting setup - just the ambient light ;)

I'm glad that there's always room for improvements :)

thanks for your constructive critique

:icononugumbystation:
If you only have a pawn, doesn't that mean that the king is dead and the game is already over?

Technically speaking, you're right :)
But I thought it would give a better expression...

I feel motivated already! It really must work! hehe
Seriously, though, this is an excellent picture. I love how the background is out of focus - it gives the pawn an even more isolated look. And I also think that, compositionally speaking, it is almost perfect. I agree with the colors being a bit too similar. If the pawn had been just a bit lighter, it would stand out a lot more, but it's still an excellent image.

Even though it's not correct (chess-wise), I do like what you've conveyed through the shot. :thumbsup:

l'homme est d'abord ce qui se jette vers un avenir,
et ce qui est conscient de se projeter dans l'avenir.

Il est plus aisé d'être sage pour les autres que de l'être pour soi-même.

This world isn't SUGOI enough for the both of us.

yes I know, it's a situation which would not occur in a regular game of chess.
I'm glad it's getting recognized. Thank you, I try to improve ;)
