Black-n-White World
by bbzippo

The white squares were originally pure red. I just selected the red channel to convert to B&W.
This is a cardboard chessboard and I bent it a little to correct distorted perspective.

Hi, I am a student at the University of Phoenix and would very much like to use your photo in a powerpoint presentation I am giving. If you could e-mail me at dpsavy@msn.com or dpsavy@email.uophx.edu I would greatly appriciate it.

Nice image bb... I not only like how you composed the image, I like how the line / edge where the two board halves meet, draws the eye along the image directly to the subject.

Fine perspective and composition, very appealing. One suggestion, smooth out and remove the crease in the cardboard where the horizontal and vertical pieces of the gameboard meet along the seam. Nice image. Roberta F.
