Warning:Playing chess can invite SwissID, a photo from Geneva, West

Photographer's Note

These fellows were playing chess happily in a Geneve public park unknowing that a SuissId was taking place nearby…

Ok see the guy kneeling down with a backpack on the right of the player on white? That is fellow trekearther Quentin (Aka SwissId) in the process of taking a photo.

Taking some of your suggestions regarding my last black and white, I have included some noise and graininess on this one.

Ciao Daniel this shot is really beautiful, with an excellent b&w and a good noisy effect.
great POV and composition, with a great perspective on the "ground".
thanks, ciao

Hi Daniel,
What a wonderful B&W photo! I can't think about something that could feet more to be in B&W than a chessboard, and you made some excellent work. I especially like the grain you added to the photo.
Cheers,
Alon

The thing I like about your choice of BW version of this photo is the fact that chess is played between the b/w too ... so it is a good rendition ... secondly I think it was good to induce the tilt in this photo as it creates good tension ....
overall a very well taken photo mate ... cheers ... sarju

Hej Daniel,
The B&W suits of course very well to the chess bricks. I like all the people in the background of the picture. Well taken.
Hilsner,

Hello Daniel,

the checkerboard design..you know I like it:) I like the three different chess boards and the chess pieces here. In black and white and with noise. Thats what I love even more.

Hi Daniel I like this photo very much. nice framing and POV. Maybe the white is just a bit overexposed... Bala

Bonjour Daniel,
Bel instantané en noir et blanc comme les pieces des echecs.
Bien vu. C'est assez surréaliste!

Hi Daniel,
A lovely BW you managed to captured here. Excellent composition with a pleasant/relaxed mood. What a nice place to hang out!
Cheers,
Skye

The contrast of this photo between black and white works very well. I wonder if they both chose which pieces to be. It's very rare to find a giant chess game! Great shot. The grain looks very natural.
