You are right !!
It is also a wonderful still life.

Thank you very much Jaap

Yes it looks that way James. A great title for this capture which I like. Well done.

Cheers. Herb

Many thanks Herb and best wishes for a good evening

Ich dachte auch an diese Figuren des Schaches lieber James,aber als Motiv haben sie sich glänzend beworben und du hast sie wunderbar mit dem Licht in Szene gesetzt,klasse wirken sie mit diesen feinen Hintergrund :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Sincere thanks Güni I'm pleased you like my still life,

Have a good evening :-)

le roi, la reine le fou et la tour!

And don't forget the pawn :-)
Thanks for the comment

Yes.......they do resemble chess pieces, a great title. I really like your lighting here James and the way it catches the brass and brings out the colour.

The detail is excellent as usual and the dark background is just perfect.

I'm glad you haven't tried to polish up the brass......they look great just as they are and especially viewed large. A first class still life..!!

many thanks Keith, as with about 97% of my work the lighting is natural and as for polishing that is a no-no for me I like to see the patina

ja Schachfiguren das war mein Gedanke auch und der zweite Gedank Gewichte :-)))))

Many thanks aNNa and best regards to you
