Good capture of these chess masters at the board.Nice tight crop and smooth background bring the focus on the concentrated players.Excellent image and the only minor fix you may consider could be a slight tilt correction to bring the frame parallel with the board.A good one...Bravo!

A lovely moment captured here and I like the b&w conversion. I don't see why the board should be parallel to the frame. I think the illusion of tilt is because the girl on the left seems to be leaning backwards to the point where she seems to be falling over. Was she leaning against something that was removed, or is this really tilted? I can't decide, but I like the angle of the board in the frame; I wouldn't change that.

Thank you both for your comments. I have not removed anything from the frame. that is the natural posture of the left girl, and I didn't want to change that.
