Hello Ivan,

Interesting photo and good one.
I like your perspective it fits on this picture. Only thing that i would do different is chair at top. It doesn`t fit on frame and it bothers me a little. But still this is an excellent image!

Good Work!
Jorbe

Excellent shot. The chess board contrasts beautifully with the subdued browns and greys. Nicely composed.

Good POV and composition. Good shot.

Great photo, Ivan! You offer a quiet and poignant image while providing some context, and the photo speaks volumes. Your POV of course is what makes the photo so powerful, but the colors add to it as well, specifically the muted browns and the stark black & white of the chessboard.

Tough to make out the pieces, but I think white has a won position.

Great point of view makes this an excellent picture.

The b&w shirt also matches the entire image theme.

Excellent

Thanks

Nice catch, perhaps I would crop a bit more on the upper side to exclude the upper chair since it is nigher here nor there.
I find note interesting yet does not match perfectly with the photo, he is playing chess alone (as seen in here).

Lepo si uhvatio ovaj momenat, ja bih mozda odsekao gornji deo (stolicu) jer nije ni tamo ni vamo.
Lepa poenta pod beleskom mada se ne uklapa sa slikom u potpunosti, on igra sam sa sobom (kao sto vidimo na slici).

Јако лепа и снажна фотографија.Као и увек када си ти у питању.
Велики поздрав.

Pozdrav, Bosko.

Zdravo Ivane
U pravu si...navuceni smo u mat poziciju i nazalost mnogo ce generacija proci dok nam se vrati Kosovo ali ce jednom ipak biti nase
Pozdrav,Braca

Hi Ivan,
Much interesting with this one..
Nice downward view and capture..
In my mind i think it more better if one chair on the top move in and put all in framed.(IMHO)..
Is this man playing alone..?hehe
Nice one my friend.

rather resourceful. i like it. though the third unoccupied chair is off-frame. and again, great social scene you are so good at.

regards,
Lena

Great shot, great compo. Please, leave the frame, your photo is strong enough.

Cheers,
Marcie
