Good angle for the shot. I like that it is in black and white. Focus and clarity are strong. Lighting is good. The vignette on this feels a bit too close to the game for me.

Thanks very much, appreciate your comments, must admit wasn't too sure about the vignette myself but lacked something without :)

Did you try using just a black or maybe a black and then white border?

I like the shot.
The abandoned chess board among the grassy field.

Almost an advertisement to sit back and take it all in.

I Totally like this picture. Its really eye-catching. Great efforts can be seen. Keep up the good work. I all appreciate that you placed the chess board on the grass instead of on any furniture.
