Hello from the Critique Club....
Hi Rob,
This is a very nice shot. You have done well with the lighting and exposure and your post processing seems spot on. You have not overdone the editing.
I think that the overall score is dissapointing. Perhaps this is because the glass chess set is a popular choice in these challenges and although this is a great shot it offers not much that is new.
I think that this photo is a case of good but not quite there and could be improved a little.
I would maybe try a less cluttered scene, it has the appearance of being quite busy and the main problem for the viewer is the lack of a focal point. The overall scene seems to slope a little to the left which is a distraction. Maybe it's a personal thing but I would have liked to have seen this lit in blue. (Not sure why, just the green reminds me of Jello and blue would maybe feel more like glass)
Overall a great photo and good idea for the challenge.
Chris

| This is a good photo and I like the concept, but the glass chess set has been done many times before. |

| It's been so long since I played chess... bright green is different, and the placement of the pieces seems balanced. |

| I really like the lighting, but the focus seems a bit soft and the playing board is not quite level. |

| Haha, as a chess lover, I can appreaciate this one. I like the green light. What I'm unsure about is what was supposed to be the main subject of this image. |
