i really like this one - the alien children, the outsize chess pieces, all work together so well to make a truly odd and arresting image. it's technically very sound, but beyond that, it's just a damn cool pic.

This is my fave of the whole group. Love the set-up. The facial expressions are perfect. Hope this ribbons.

I got a good chuckle out of this. Too bad you couldn't use a couple dogs for the knights. But this works! An eight for you.

Love the glasses, particularly the sunglasses reflecting the board. Very neat idea, well executed.

Nice photo. Like the idea, but might be little busy. Reflections are present in 3 windows and two pairs of glasses. Sideways knights look a little odd.

Spectacularly wonderful. Love the BW, the composition and the deadpan expressions of your models. It's fantastic.

a bit too much dodge and burn on the faces - but a great image overall
