Nice composition in this one, but I think your lighting is a bit off - it's too dark to make out the details clearly. It's a good concept; I don't think I've seen it before, despite all the chessboard shots on dA. Also - that blurred mass in the background is quite distracting. Otherwise, pretty good!
I really like this one... very cool concept... clean picture, sharp detail... contrast is a little soft... If it had bee a little higher the pieces might have shined a little better... very good delivery on a cool concept... BTW, Mate in 4...
Very nicely done, although I think I would like it more if there was a wider range in the lighter colours, and if the point of focus was further in front of the two pawns.
I'm not sure if you know this (sorry if you do!), but in photography, from the point of focus, 1/3 in front and 2/3 behind the actual point are in focus, so you can quite often get away with having the focus further in front, but not further in back.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
