| Some blowout on his hand and the pieces, but a great capture of the indecisive moment. |

| Nicely caught, I wish the light wasn't so harsh on the chess board though. |

| For me, nothing beats live action in this challenge. |

| The quality of the photo doesnt seem very good, however the compositon of the shot is good, I like the guys arm hanging over the board. |

My favorite people shot of the week (cept for mine :-)
Love the guy in the hat, glasses and coat. He is stylish whether he intended to be or not and makes the shot..which I am sure is why you took his photo:-) |

| Too bad the table is blown. Nice composition. |

| The hand and the board are a little overexposed ... |
|

| I think the character of the man robs from the main game subject. Or is that the game? Rare action shot of chess. Good job. |

| Great shot, love it that they are ACTUALLY playing, the angle is great. The whole photo looks just a tad out of focus though. |

| ah, the concentration of a chess player.. great moment captured. |
|

| I love the way you captured the concentration of this man! Too bad you couldn't oust the guy in grey... |
|
|
|

| The intensity is electric! My eye is drawen directly to his face that is telling me about the concentration being spent on the game. |

| This would have been good for the "people" challenge too. |

| Nice candid shot. Looks a little over exposed. |

| I am very fond of found photos as opposed to set up photos. This was good timing as well. |
|

| I don't like the way this is cropped. Having a headless guy really detracts from the picture ;o) |

| I like photographs of people much more than photographs of objects, which this challenge is full of. This is my favourite chess picture so far. The expression on the man's face and extended arm are very poignant. |

| clean, crsip picture but doesn't grab my attention |
|

| extremely difficult to get a reasonable exposure here with sunlight and shadow - fill-in flash needed low down at maybe table level from right and camera set a couple of stops under exposed |
|

| I like the use of what appears to be natural light in this photo. The look of concentration is evident even with the sunglasses. A good photograph. I might have tried to crop out the lower left just a little bit. |

| The overexposure of the chess board and the background elements are a bit distracting, though this does present a more spontaneous (I think) picture than many of the other ones here |
|
|
|

| the position the player is in doesn't seem very natural. I think showing him just thinking about a move (eg hand on the chin) may have worked better |

| A little bright in spots, but best of the chess photos. Looks like a character. |

| Good story. The slight tension is evident. |

| This is definitely one one of my favorites this week... It's not a technically excellent photo but you have captured the intensity of this chess match. I love watching these outdoor chess matches.. These guys are usually playing for money and they are quite impressive players as well. I would love to hear the story behind this photo after the challenge. If you want to tell me the story sooner, this comment is coming from jmsetzler or tell me at setzler@charter.net via email. This is an INTENSE score of 10 for capturing some raw and unabridged emotion! Excellent! |

| Oh darn, arn't you wishing you could use this photo next week? A bit to bright on the center of the board. |

| caught the moment this one I like |
|

| Good work, I like what you've done and where you were going with this. I feel the composition could of been improved but ya work with what ya got! Nice job. |

| I llike the candid approach. |
|
|
|
05/20/2002 03:26:00 AM |
| i'd have stood on a chair to take this shot.. maybe underexposed a smidgen to get rid of glare if neccesary. beats all those fucking dominoes shots though, eh? |
