Agree with RK. I think it's a bit OOF than unsharp though. But I could be wrong of course.

Nice clean image...find it a bit soft...maybe its just me...

This is very nice and clean. I always envied the capability to produce high key shot with white background, something which escapes me so far.

The image looks clean and simple, love the reflection! :-))

Very artistic billy! I thought of doing a chess image but yours looks much better than what I had in mind! I like the colors, composition and the DOF. :-) CJ

This was shot with a strobe back light against a white wall.... the back light was about two stops brighter than the main light, wich was the onboard flash @ f-14..... the chess set was all glass, including the board!

Wow! This is really nice! Can you clue us in on your set up billy? Is it a glass chess set? jano

You're a controversial bugger Neo:-)

I like this picture and the border is nice too :-)

Very nice look to this graphic shot spider mate, but the cliche wide border & line tends to make it look like all other shots digitally enhanced with this boring un-photographic technique. Wot I'm trying to say is this would look really good without the silly wide border.
