nice one.
my constructive criticism... the composition is slightly weak. i wish it was either a much more strongly centered image, maybe even bringing the camera up slightly so the lines made by the chessboard were a stronger frame to the pawn. alternately, a more interesting, out of balance composition using thirds and maybe a diagonal line following the tops of the pieces.

Thanks for the criticism. What I just noticed and did not do on purpose is that the heights of the pieces go tall to short.
I did actually try an off balance composition, but couldn't get my camera to focus on the pawn correctly. Oh well.

Yea I can autofocus on the pawn, then move the camera after locking the focus. I can't get manual focus, though... I am thinking of getting a Canon Digital Rebel XS w/ 18-55mm

I love it. The biggest problem I have with some photographers is trying to be too technical. If it looks good, then all the rules and technicalities mean nothing.
