robertbrown 1 Posted July 11, 2003 Comments, ratings, suggestions on this black and white shot--I took several during the game from different angles. Will post others later. Developed and printed in home darkroom. Link to comment
ken_taylor 0 Posted July 11, 2003 Love this! Perhaps crop out the head on right (but then again it works with the eyes on the wall. Link to comment
kiran_pallapotu 0 Posted July 11, 2003 Nice picture! I like the theme. The eyes on the walls caught my attention first. Link to comment
patrick_brossard 0 Posted July 11, 2003 I really enjoy the gaze of the boy at the chess board and the two eyes on the wall. It just look like if the panther was observing the game and the player. Nice shot, but the presence of the woman on the right disturbs the composition Link to comment
angela_cummings1 0 Posted July 11, 2003 This is a gorgeous image caputing a wonderful moment -- agree that the hand at the bottom of the image is distracting -- I would burn this out, and then it is perfect. Link to comment
stefan1 0 Posted July 11, 2003 Comical with the eyes on the wall. The bottle is quite distracting. The insects seem to fly out of the bottle! Link to comment
dhouse 0 Posted July 12, 2003 the first thing i noticed was the bottle and the insects, i thought they were flowers...but it made me think of bubbles, like a willy wonka creation or something...then the eyes in the painting which mirror in intensity the boys gaze on the chess board, are they the opponents? the woman seems distant as if shes not playing but observing the two...I agree though that her hand is very distracting, burning it seems like a good idea, but maybe just crop it out...and perhaps crop a little off the left side...very interesting...

victor_bentzvi 0 Posted July 12, 2003 almost perfect and terms of making print. the image itself is perfect. Link to comment
robertbrown 1 Posted July 12, 2003 Thanks for all of the helpful comments. My kids are semi-serious about their chess. I plan to return here and try re-shooting this. I've added another shot from this sequence to this portfolio. Link to comment
danb 0 Posted July 13, 2003 more a comment on the game than the photo (which i like) -- how do you tell white from black? it appears that both players' pieces are clear glass.... ;-) Link to comment
robertbrown 1 Posted July 14, 2003 Dan, while the photo doesn't show it, the pieces are actually clear glass and frosted glass. Link to comment
michael_huez 0 Posted July 15, 2003 really good picture, one wouldn't think that this was taken in Oregon, it has some exotic touch to it. Link to comment
