give it a shot and see what happens. I don't mind the DOF but I do want the first square in focus....but hey, that's me and it's not all about me. or is it? :evil2:

I like this one Ig, For me I think a wee bump in contrast might help...and a coupla chess pieces.

I like the shallow DOF too. I think with some pieces in focus the shallow DOF will really work.

A single chess piece, or perhaps two would make this sing! My first thought on seeing it was; "Oh, Wow!". I just saw the geometry which is great, but a chess piece would give a story. I might, were I you, put the king on his side, perhaps towards the back. That might be a very good photo. You have a good eye. Kurt

;) you're welcome

I agree with adding the chess pieces, I think that would add a lot more to this image. Maybe a hand dropping a king in defeat as if an epic battle had just occured, ;)
