très belle composition...le damier ajoute du suspense....superbe!
Melissa Howard 16-Jul-2007 20:30
I like this, it is fun to look at - stories and images to go with them are given in this simple almost abstract geometric composition...the implications of the objects are wonderful...
Joy Miller 16-Jul-2007 06:05
I like the angle and the B&W. Brings back memories of an earlier time. v.
Kaden Kratzer 16-Jul-2007 05:23

J'aime ce jeu géométique des formes et aussi des couleurs
Bien balancé

Très bien fait! Vote.
Rod Stewart 11-Jul-2007 12:54
It was a strategic challenge
Of wit against fortitude,
As the opinions jostled
For position.

simply brilliant!

J'aime bien ce jeu d'échec pour son graphisme épuré et simplissime. La géométrie esthétique ... Et en plus cinématographiquement évocateur ! Excellent !

Au demeurant, atmosphère des plus sympa !

simple, mais terriblement efficace
shatterbug 11-Jul-2007 06:29
What I love about this image is, that you have given us the freedom to create our own characters...the cigarette butts and combination of empty and full coffee cups suggest a lengthy encounter. The b/w stays true to the film...great addition to this gallery!
Eric Carrère 11-Jul-2007 06:04
Stunning JD, i must say " V ".
crina [mzm] 11-Jul-2007 04:34
sorry, I haven't seen this one - but, as Ann LT has written on my site - it looks like a game of life - black and white, yin and yang, life and death (by excess ofour unmistakable addictions); a very impressive image - and the perspective you decided upon makes it even more gamely - a gamble for one's next move...
I am not embarrassed to stand by my VOTE openly here.
René Lortie 11-Jul-2007 02:01
Voilà un belle illustration d'un de mes films coup-de-coeur. Tout y est : les mégots, le mythique paquet de Camel, les cafés - pleins et vide et, en prime, l'échiquier. Très réussi.
CIS 11-Jul-2007 01:52
Well done...expect Leonard Cohen to pop into the scene.
Was common to see him in a small out of the way diner in Montreal with lots of coffee and cigarettes.
Kevin Sargent 11-Jul-2007 01:49
Okay, let's face facts. You are a damn genius. V
Cindi Smith 10-Jul-2007 23:36
This rocks! Great work, JD!
Char 10-Jul-2007 23:17
Hi JD,
This makes me think of the song "Got those smokin' cigarettes and drinking coffee blues" Excellent shot!
Eckhart Derschmidt 10-Jul-2007 23:13
These are some strange chessmen! Great image!
Buz Kiefer 10-Jul-2007 22:56
Excellent B&W. Tells a story. Vote.
Robert Walls 10-Jul-2007 22:35
Always Camel in movies...

Effective association. The coffee for me please.
marie-jose wolff 10-Jul-2007 19:27
très belle interprétation! V.
TimA 10-Jul-2007 19:14
Looks like a plan of strategy. I see the ashtray has out flanked the first line of defence, but the rear guard are moving into position!
laine82 10-Jul-2007 19:04
My recollections of camel cigarettes is that they smelled bad :>(
Silvia Roitman 10-Jul-2007 18:59
Excellent composition!!!bravo!!
RALPH ELDRIDGE 10-Jul-2007 18:50
Superb!
JSWaters 10-Jul-2007 18:38
I'm not familiar with the movie but I do get a definate sense of the conversation around this table. The b&w renders it timeless, the details discussed not important - like a game of daily life played out over the checkerboard table.

David Barrett 10-Jul-2007 18:35
Excellent composition and interpretation!
Guest 10-Jul-2007 18:14
what a wonderful composition!
Stu Egan 10-Jul-2007 17:52
Excellent - very in keeping with the movie yet again!
Niquin 10-Jul-2007 17:37
what a great mood you have created here, very gritty!
jlm 10-Jul-2007 17:36
Excellent !
J. Scott Coile 10-Jul-2007 17:28
Looks like a long conversation of sleepless night.
