I like this a lot. The chess board and pieces are great. I would kind of like the top background to be a touch darker, but that is just me. It's a neat idea and a great shot. #13737

Carol,
I appreciate your comments. My son and I play a lot of Chess, and during this game the board just happened to be set-up in front of the window. I didn't want any artificial lighting, but I did try three different backgrounds. It was just too dark with the light that I was working with, so I went with the natural back-lighting. Thanks again for the suggestion. Next time I might try some kind of a translucent background.

Ron, The natural lighting is really effective. I can see why you wouldn't want to give it up. This really is a neat picture. #13757
