Description
Inspired by [link] (by VirtualDesign) I tried to make it with glass pieces.It failt, I hate this. But it's experimental, and I have to get some feedback.
Lighting is terrible, the background is actually white, but the ligting ruined it, couldn't even save in PS.

Ok, I happen to like the background in grey, as seems to be general consensus. The only thing I would experiment with is the angle of the photo - in that the etched glass comes through the clear glass a bit warped and for me it's distracting. It may or may not work. Other than that, I really like the simplicity and the organic feel of the pieces, particularly the clear piece.

KompositionmΓ¦ssigt, ville det vΓ¦re mere interessant hvis det ikke var helt i midten. Men kan rigtig godt lide teksturerne her, og forskellene pΓ₯ de to skak-brikker..

Jeg takker mange gange. Læg dog mærke til at billedet er gammelt. (Jeg har lært meget siden, men mit kamera er dødt.

Okay. ^___^
Nogle planer om at uploade nyere ting?

Helt sikkert. NΓ₯r jeg fΓ₯r kΓΈbt et nyt kamera og "lavet" nogle nye ting.

Helt sikker der.
MΓ₯ man anbefale Nikon D50?
Det er det jeg bruger, sammen med 55-18 / 55-200 mm linser. Check mit galleri hvis du vil se eksempler pΓ₯ hvad den kan tage.

The grey background actually gives it a better look in my opinion, but I can't do backgrounds for peanuts so...

Well you shouldn't hate it. It's wonderful. The lighting might not feel right but it certainly looks right. Wonderful.

Nice concept. Even cooler chess pieces. Sweet.

Very nice job. I like the refraction of the standing King within the fallen. Good work!

nice idea, and nice execution, just need to mess with the background and lighting.

I actually really like it - the translucency of the object in front (well the piece in front) but it still has a strong shadow - yeah i like it.

I like the background as it is actually. I suppose the lighting could be improved, but other than that, it's a very cool photo. Ive been meaning to take some shots with my chess set...but I'm a bit of a procrastinator.

i think it looks great with the grey background as opposed to white, and the lighting looks good to me, makes it more origional and interesting, as opposed to a very plain and boring white background. just my opinion.

I really like this; it's definetly one of the stand out pieces of work in your gallery. I quite like the background, but if you're gonna do it again i would try black rather than white. Also, is that rooks or bishops you used, what about trying it with a king and queen piece?

It's white king and black king

personally i like it, it portrays dominance.. i do think there should've been a black background for more contrast though.. i like it though! don't hate it!

i agree with everything sparklepixie said, i really like it a lot

Why don't you like this? Personally I like the grey background, more depth to it while still offering contrast with the white piece, while a black background would give too much contrast. Be proud of this, I like it a lot

Yea I agree with the above comment, you shouldn't give up on the set up. Try doing what jess said and perhaps it will come out better than you expect. Still, I think this one looks good as well. I like the grey coloring and the reflection is great.

I love the concept and the perspective you used is cool.. maybe a black background?

try shining a light on the background, and completely blow it out. it'll make the background white. I'm not sure how the glass pieces will look on a compltely white background though. You might just want to try it on a black one. It's nice, conceptually. I'd like to see more.
