Beautiful!

im having trouble seeing what the object is author

Me too, Crystle..... is it birds on a swing, author??

yeas birds on a swing...i wanted it this way but its got way too dark.I will try a re-shot

I had to look twice to see the black king that blended into the two black squares. But excellent image. I like that you actually positioned your whites to form a checkmate.

the lighting doesn't flatter the model at all, though I do like how he is positioned and the envoirment he is in, but The expression on his face would seal the deal with this picture. His body posture doesn't say alone, so I need to see it in his face. His body posture is very relaxed, kinda like he is just sitting there in serious though, looking towards the future.

Seems pretty lonely to me author. The surroundings make it even more so.
