Description

An entry for the monthly photo contest... Opposites. A Chess set represents opposites... in color, sides in a game, and strategies. It could be suggested that it also symbolizes war, the ultimate method of resolving opposites in ideology. Production Notes. 1. Sony f828, 8mp 2. PSP9 ... minimal post work, frame and signature. 3. One chess set, "imported" for me many years ago by a friend, from Hong Kong via submarine. Thanks for viewing.
