[Kerri]

[Nancy]

Super cool b&w!:)

Your low key shots are always superb as is this one.

[Hope D Jennings]

I love this one!

[April Milani]

Darn this is cool. Fav

[April Milani]

Really how does this not have like 20 favs?

[Taffy]

Gorgeous viewed large. Not viewing large means folks miss the details and shadows that make the shot. Fav!

[Alexander]

So theatrical. Another of your instant FAV's for me!

[Kathy]

That chess piece (Pawn?? can't see all of it) looks so stately! Oh, and I just noticed your title after I wrote this!

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

clever stuff well done.

[emily tull]

ooo shady

[The Mysterious Mr Biscuit]

What were you going for that didn't (in your eyes) work?

[Dawn]

I think its awesome!! and I so agree with Mr. Biscuit!!!

[dh (delena)]

Why do you consider this a fail? You are the queen of chess shots and you should tag this for the board game theme.

[Humphrey Hippo]

Looks cool though - the bokeh knight is fab.

[Lisa Pouncy]

Fab low key xx

@taffy @dh @kaesebiscuit tx guys... but see... technically, that isn't a shadow... it's a double image... i was trying for something a little more discombobulating then this ended up being... i took one more run at it today and i think it's closer, but still not sure it's off-kilter enough for my liking :)

[Zam]

very nice shot!

[Syanah ღ]

Nice lighting

[Marloes]

Love this playing with light. Super pov and great dof!

[Katia]

Looks fab - don´t be so hard to yourself! ;)
