Mayor Michael Nutter (Phila.) plays in a 24-hour youth chess tournament opposing violence.

Orignially a (poorly lit) overhead shot of a chessboard in checkmate. No tweaking in Lightroom could fix it, but I accidently found that I could "burn out" the shadows by only slightly increasing the fill light. Make B&W, mess with contrast, and voila!

Breaking the rules with the composition. Not sure how I like this yet.
