Fantastic and creative concept and so masterly executed. I just love the lighting and the set-up on the board. Sure to ribbon imo.

Nice idea. The shot looks a bit heavy though, like it's missing contrast or something. Great dof though.

I like the rough, hand-carved look of the king.

Nice shot... I can't believe someone else entered this.. I was going to do this EXACT same thing but I entered in the Begin so it locked me out of this one.... nicely done - I considered having a hand half-knocking over the king as well - or just showing the king surrounded by other pieces from above... I really like this too though

I love the grain, and the composition is also very strong. My equal best for the challenge.
