My eye went immediately to the guy on left. his eyes and expression draw me in. i notice that all 3 men have one of their hands in same position, and find this image does has a triangular flow to it. i found it to be FREE flowing and not at all disturbing! i went from guy on the left (his eyes), down to his hands, then to the hand of the guy in the background, and then to the hand of the guy on the right. I'm fascinated by people's hands, and perhaps that's why i enjoy this picture so much! i don't know too much about composition and stuff...just know what i like and what feels good to me. this one feels good and has a natural flow to it...at least when you see it the way i do. little tight on the top but that doesn't bother me too much since i can't stop looking at their hands! LOL! if anything disturbs me, it would be what looks like an elbow or part of another arm on the right. if it bothers you, it could be fixed. i really love this image and i luv the story!!! whenever 2 people play a game of chess, people will come to watch!!! fascinating game for sure!
