my favorite photo

models : Ziyad Al-Rabeh (Left) - Ayman Al-Saqa (Right)
assistants : Hamdi Al-Kawas - Nabeel Abu-shanab (R.I.P)

--------------

one of the concepts of the photo that it's telling a history .. the chess itself is equally divided between black and white .. so they are supposed to be equal , but what happened ? the whit people started the war with their knives and horses (knife on the table and horse in the hand) .. in the other hand you can see the black stones which didn't move yet (their move is a payback..with guns in the future)
finally you can notice that the red in the background stands for the war, fear and blood

one more thing , I'm not racist ! don't misunderstand me ^^"

Daily Deviation

Given 2011-04-26
Suggester Says One of the most incredible conceptual photos, it really speaks volumes. The whole scenery appears normal and peaceful, yet there is a unique heat and passion ready to come out at any moment. It may be "just a game", but in the end it may become a matter of life. Really smart idea and greatly represented by a talented artist.
