Checkmate & Pixel Perfect Award
We found this particular setting in a furniture store and thought the colors, patterns, lines, angles and shadows would make for an interesting photograph.
As you know, the Pixel Perfect award is given occasionally by Jacob and Lois Anne of Ocala Daily Photo to one of our outstanding photo bloggers.
We have been watching Mary Stebbins Taitt of Mary's Detroit Photoblog for some months and have been very impressed with her work.
Thus, we give the Pixel Perfect Award to Mary, "a photo blogger who exhibits exceptional photographic skills in terms of artistic creativity, composition, sharpness and exposure."
Please check out her blog and enjoy her beautiful photographs!
Congratulations, Mary!

J'aime beaucoup ces couleurs vives !
Most appropriate in such a place. Transparent table and all.
I would say more than interesting: stunning, creative... wonderful! Really a great picture.
j'aime beaucoup, surtout avec la transparence de la table
I like very much, especially with the transparence of the table
"Seems like there was not just a game of chess but, a real war between two kings and their armies.... why else would the chess board be so red...." Well, I just tried to interpret something different... Nice red&black carpet nicely shot! I like the shine at the bottom right of the picture!
Congratulations, Mary !
Mary is a multitalented lady. She is a good painter and a great poet too.
The colors and the "grain" of your photo are very refined.
perfect composition!

Thanks for the link to Mary's blog. I agree its outstanding!
Yes, that photograph of the chair is indeed perfect in all aspects. Beautiful!
I just saw Mary's blog. She has some creative work out there.

I did follow the link and really enjoyed Mary's photos. Your checkered floor is a beauty too, great angle!
You were right! That is an excellent photograph.
What a strong concentration of red and black. I like your composition. You have such a strong eye for color.
Hi Jocob. I love the colors and pattern of the picture also the title is perfect.
Congrats to Mary!
I like that floor! It makes a very interesting picture.
Mary's Detroit is terrific and I'm now following it. (Thanks for the link.) The tiles are the best part of this shot. It doesn't matter what is placed on them the place really comes to life. Love those colors!
What an interesting floor .. I like the contrasts .. good shot .. and congrats to Mary!
Congrats to Mary!
Fantastic composition and colours!
And congratulations, Mary!
Thank you so much for this wonderful honor Jacob and Lois, and thank you to all of you who have come to visit me.
Unfortunately on this eventful occasion, I was called away. But I will be posting the award shortly. THANK YOU!
Your shot for today is pin sharp and excellent! Beautiful colors and crispness.
I like this floor:)
I LOVE this picture! One of my favourites yet. You have an excellent eye and deserve a pixel perfect award yourself!
And yes, you're right...it won't be long now. A friend who was due 2 days after me gave birth last night, so there's light at the end of the tunnel!
@ Becky - My best wishes to you! If we don't see a posting for awhile...well, we know what that means!
I love this! It has such rich and beautiful colors. The shadow across the chair really helps make this photo, IMHO! I followed your link to Detroit and discovered a wonderful new blog, so this was a double treat. Thank you!
Congrats to Mary.
Love the shot--it looks like a picture I saw on a book cover--once--a mystery I believe. I love the edging of the glass table. Great capture. MB
Not only an interesting photo, Jacob, it shows also your artistic disposition!
Pixel perfect indeed! Great angle and color contrast. There is something about this photo that is very inviting.
