Challenge: Black and White in Color (Advanced Editing IV*)
Camera: Nikon Coolpix S4
Date: Jul 24, 2006
Galleries: Still Life, Black and White
Date Uploaded: Jul 24, 2006

 Actually it was quiet difficult for me to take this shot in low light with Nikon Coolpix S4 but even though I was able to do it by increasing ISO setting to 200, keeping BSS(Best shot selector) ON & using auto timer setting.
In software motion blur is slightly adjusted as well as level, contrast setting slightly changed. Image is also cropped from bottom side a little bit.

Thanks for your nice comments & appreciating the photo. Well I will like to describe the idea behind the photo. The King who had lost his war & a dead pawn near his feat.The dead pawn, the light, exposure & long shadows were used to create the atmosphere of defeat, sadness. The standing King shows his character such as confidence as well as courage.

I'm not sure what I'm looking at on the left side of the photo. It does case a nice shadow, but i'd like to see more detail of what it is.

The seam or folds detract. Otherwise, nice.
