Strange shadows on the knight, good idea overall.

A very interesting idea, there are a few things that would help your image. Firstly the perspective of your chess pieces is not the same as the chess board, now I don't do 3D, but I imagine that if you made the board and positioned your chess pieces within your 3D program, then adjusted the angle you would have the same perspective on both board and pieces. Secondly, rendered clouds never do an image justice, there are plenty of wonderful stock pictures of clouds that would improve your entry. Good luck

Akassa and madamemonty, thanks for the input. You ladies are/were right. I really was not too happy with the original upload either. I made a major edit... for those of you who have voted already I thank you. Please see my SBS.

MAO Nice chop

No SBS or source for bald head?

Late SBS added. No other source was used for the bald head. Just a selection from his forehead was used as a guide and then cloned

The right (our right) side of his head is too big.

There is nothing wrong with this chop author...looks just fine to me.

Lol, great chop, GL!

Very well done, and I know that must have taken you a long time to remove that wire and fill in the spaces with the rocks.

Thanks Emik...yes, it took a lot of time just to remove the frame wire.

very very nice piece of work author...IMHO one of the best in contest...best of luck

Thanks Erathion....

Painstaking work by removing the wires author,and nevertheless this was flawless.Sadly contest came to an end,before I could decide on my composition.Great work.! Wish you all the best.!

The head on the left is terribly distorted, too flat on top, and the features look squashed.

MossyB Thanks any better?

Mucho gooder!

Thanks MossyB
