So deep in thought. A marvelous street candid! V

A compelling shot, revealing one of NYC's sub-cultures. The chess enthusiasts from many walks of life.

The king's side castle gave the black side a little respite but his forces are split and appear vulnerable - guessing that is a look of concern as he strokes his whiskers. Very interesting! V

Great candid of this chess layer concentrating on the game. "V"
Alan K24-Oct-2016 08:09
A nice study in focus. Even though you can't see his eyes the hands are all that are needed to express it. The shade over the players in the background help reinforce the focus on the main subject.
Tom LeRoy24-Oct-2016 07:27
Such a cool moment captured so well. Excellent color and detail. V
Nirvan Hope24-Oct-2016 04:20
Engrossed, excited. Perhaps though he should pay a little attention to that nose and arm in the sun! Great candid.
joseantonio24-Oct-2016 04:13

Deep in thought.. Great image, Bill...
Dennis Hoyne24-Oct-2016 02:46
A superb composition, I love the lighting and detail, maybe he could explain to me why I always lose at chess (but win at poker). V.
globalgadabout24-Oct-2016 02:38
a stalemate in the making with such little offense....'black's rueful smile is telling...engaging image..
Raymond Ma24-Oct-2016 01:08
Great catch Bill, love the light and the moment! V
Neil Marcus24-Oct-2016 01:08
Dark tones add drama that add to his pondering pose. "V"

Julie Oldfield24-Oct-2016 00:53
Awesome shot. Love the DOF. V
Gill Kopy24-Oct-2016 00:52
So cool how the light catches this player - probably knows he's about to lose a knight :) - Fabulous shot Bill V
Nick Paoni24-Oct-2016 00:31
What a great shot. You've got a great narrative here on many levels. V
Helen Betts24-Oct-2016 00:20
What an excellent capture of this chess player. He seems to have a slight smile on his face, so perhaps he knew he had it won. V.
