The Chess Players 3

There's another shot from this sequence in this portfolio.

They're blissfully unaware of the danger lying in wait :) This is a fun picture.

Comments, ratings, suggestions appreciated on this b&w shot. I'm going

to reshoot it tomorrow, so any ideas would be helpful. Thanks

hi robert. ive just looked for comparison to the previous picjust to be sure that i know what im saying.... that one is much stronger. ya, there is some (very little) problem with cutting the image of the player with her back to u. this pic is ok compared to that one. inthis one u simply tell me (in terms of visual impression of the viewer) that there was a game of chess one bright and beautiful day etc.. in the previous u do much more then a simole story. that pic takes u on a high speed way to some essense of this boy, to some desposition of his at that present moment, and most of all, i see there thee photographer - impressed by the way this boy behaved. those r (for me) the components of a very fine artistic photo - to deliver a episoude or a disposition (in methaphysical terms that for me can apply to simplest things in our lives), and with it, to deliver your mental perception of the episode or disposition, and of course to do it technikally good (= to visualize and to make it possible for others). i dont say that this one is bad... not at all. but the previous is totaly on a diferent level (exapt that little problem with a right side of the image).

:) nice

lovely... a little more contrast and sharpness maybe?
