Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia

I know this is kind of a street photography cliche, chess players in a

city park. But I still like some aspects of this photo. I think the

bokeh from this Industar-50 lens gives a kinda cool effect with the

trees in the background.

Feel free to comment.

Been there (many times), seen those guys (I think). You got the looks right, both men concentrating on the board, but IMO the background is way too sharp.

Looks like white is in trouble. Good expression capture, reflecting both situations. I agree that the background is very distracting, just too sharp

 

I took one in the same vein last year.
