Hello Charo,
this is an interesting vertical composition! I also like the inclusion of that little 'stripe' of greenish colour at the top of the image.
When compared to the bird sitting near it, the chess board doesn't look too giant :)
Best regards,
Elena

Hola Charo,
A beautiful composition and a bit of a funny picture with the seagull that looks a little suspicious to that giant chess board. Or it is waiting for a buddy to play a game of chess :)
Best regards, Paul

Hola Charo,
amo questo gioco e a volte provo a sfidare il computer.
Bella scacchiera e ottimo punto di osservazione.
Ma chi gioca? Il gabbiano? Eheheheh! :PP
TFS!

Ola Charo, maybe with this bird I could play, otherwise I would loose. Excellent composition. Part of it looks like [email protected], part in colours. Pity no one wnats to play. Well done.
It is not so giant. During our meeting in marostica, italy, we saw the chessboard, when sometimes the human figures are moving.
Warm regards

Hola Charo,
aqui faltan solo los jugadores... a menos que no juege la gaviota :) POV y encuadre insólitos y originales. Me gusta la inclusion de la estrecha banda mar por arriba.
Buen día

Hi Charo
Great view of this large chess set. I like the POV and the lack of people. I wonder if the seagull can play, lol.

Hello Charo,
A wonderful composition with the seagull poised to make the next move! This would make a very good b/w image with its strong graphic features. Well seen and taken.

Such a strange photo - as though the seagull was about to play. Well seen and imagined. Cheers, Marlene

Hello Charo,
The seagull adds a touch of humour to this unusual composition. The chess pieces and chequerboard layout introduce some interesting graphical elements. Although you have kept to colour, I think a stronger composition could be made by converting to black and white and boosting the contrast. Just a thought.

Bonjour Charo,
Même en agrandissant l'échelle du jeu, il n'est pas sûr que cela me facilite la tâche. Une telle taille permet de prendre du recul pour mieux voir. La photo n'est pas banale et est bien faite avec la mer inclue en haut. Bonne qualité. Bravo.
Bonne journée
Amicalement

Hello Charo,
Wonderful composition from an excellent high POV, I do not know if the seagull accepted your call but he looks like thinking about it!
Have a nice weekend, Vasilis.

Ciao Charo, la scacchiera gigante me la son persa, peccato che in gioventù ci giocavo a scacchi, grazie per avermela fatta vedere, quando ci ricapito la cerco, ottima composizione e splendida nitidezza, quasi un bianco e nero naturale molto gradevole, un abbraccio, Silvio

Salut Charo,
Bien cadré ce jeu d'échec avec le détail de la mouette prête à jouer ?, le rendu pourrait êre également en version n&b.

Hi Charo,
I haven't seen one of these giant chess boards for ages! I like the vertical composition with the inclusion of the rocks and the sea in the background. Good light from the side, too! Well done, TFS.
Kind regards,

Hello Charo,
A beautiful black and white image where it seems the bird is waiting for its opponent. You captured this one at the right time and black and white suits well. Excellent POV,
