Linda, I think it turned out very well. Really like the lighting of the ones in the shadows and the backlighting of the silhouettes. Well done. Marilyn

Linda, I think the furniture adds balance to the shot. Without it, the composition may seem to "geometric" or too symetrical. You have chosen a perfect angle to shoot from, and the exposure is very rich and comforting. It is fantastic! ..Brad

Yes, I do like it Linda. For me, I think what makes it a more striking image, is the way you've cropped. Panorama style was a great choice.
The silhouettes are great and I don't think the furniture is distracting at all. It definitely helps with scale and adds another appealing point of interest to the shot.
Fantastic work!!
Cheers

Very nice work Linda, wonderful silhouettes of these chess pieces. As you mentioned I do think the background is a little distracting but it is still a wonderful shot with the light illuminating in the center showing off the curves of these pieces. :)

Good composition, Linda! Great idea, too! The tones are very nice. The only piece that I find distracting is the plant. I think the rest of it is fine. Well done!

Yes, Linda, the furniture provides a scale. I like your crop, and this is a big shot...just step back from the monitor a few feet and it really jumps up in size. That apparent tilt (angle?) adds mystery to the shot.

Good job Linda! I really like the idea. I agree with Kathy Hillard (she's my sister...I have to!) about the plant. Did you try it without it? I love the look of this photo. Very creative.

Great point of view in this one Linda! You got some amazing depth in this - sharp all the way from the pieces in the FG to the curtains in the back! The way you presented this really emphasizes the 'battle' aspect of chess - one army lining up against the other, each waiting for the other to make the first move... the dramatic and melancholy lighting adds to that tension! Creative work, mi amiga - you can be so versatile!

Definitively this version is better for me.
I like the light on the chess and the window as background.
In your next one it feels a bit little as main light in background.
It was a very challenging series..., only wiht ambient lighting -Fabio-

The composition is wonderful and it really fits in the silhouettes project,
You are right about the furniture, it can be distracting, But I find it adding a flavor and cozy atmosphere,
Very well composed and captured,

hi, i like this shot,Linda!..the wide format suits it and i,too,would like the plant removed...the darker furnishings are ok giving some context.....mostly love the ambient light diffused thru the curtains giving definition to the shapes of the silhouetted chess pieces...nice work and good idea for subject matter!
regards,gayle

Hi Linda,
the widescreen look is well done here. nice entry for the project.
one suggestion: BW? My deep feeling is that this would work in BW as well.
anyway, great view =)

I like this series. This is my favourite, not sure why, though. The chess pieces look like they at a concert waiting for the curtain to go up. Great shots.
