I have no idea why i felt the need to do this... especially since this is my third run at it... not entirely thrilled with the angle and focus, but this is infinitely better than the other two attempts so we'll just call it a night, 'k? ;p
thank you for all the nice comments and favs on my (and Dougi and Amy's) chopstick shots :)
I honestly do not know why you would not think is is an excellent shot Northy. It certianly is in my opinion. Not just the slick black and white theme used, but that queen looks awesome! I love it. The shadowing and focal technique...This shot will receive a lot more praise than you expect.
My shopping list for props today included diamonds and sand, so a chess set makes perfect sense. ;)
