Play to Win.

Thanks for looking.

Super shot, I like the composition, its very good a lot of attention to detail. I like the Dark feeling with back light behind the girl and I also like the lighting on her which is perfectly exsposed. The only detail I could comment is White moves first. Super portfolio full of well composed shots from interesting and original points of view. 7/7 anoymous.

I must agree with all of the above- an excellent portrait - well thought out, well lit and great execution all the way around. The planning for this really makes for a portrait with a lot of punch, as it is so different from the run of the mill shots of children. I really like the fact that it takes the young girl seriously - she is serious and she is playing a serious game and we take her seriously.- too often we overlook that in children. Excellent - 7/7 im my book!

A very original portrait. The title might as well be "Breaking the rules": in fact, Black never moves first...

very nice idea and expression

is the table (esp. left) manipulated? it seems odd to me.stretched perhaps?
