I don't play chess but admire those who do! You obviously do having this gleaming chess set! You have made it into a great portrait type pic using this strong B&W!
wow the darkness is wicked cool gives a simple game a very ominous vibe...well done! proves that we can all compose something in a very unique way and I like your way big time
If that's not the finish you were going for, it's artfully refined in a sea of diminishing light. ;-)
I love it...that pawn is bad ass!
