Wow! I love the unusual designs. Particularly the picture where the white pieces
are reflected in one of the pawns.

The only things I'd criticise would be the lighting and camera in the pictures.
The lighting seems very dry and lifeless, particularly the shadows. I'd suggest
using slightly blue ambient light or radiosity to add more colour to the
shadows, and a slightly orange light to balance against that. Alternatively
maybe nearby lights with some walls to reflect them to get a cosy indoors feel.
As for the camera, I suggest you try to frame your images in a more intriguing
way, e.g. offset the camera (the fourth image does that nicely), the symmetry in
your images is pretty but it doesn't need to be so obvious. Also there's too
much perspective on the first image (scab17.jpg) which is disorienting,
paricularly when combined with the curved reflection. If you lay out your shots
with just a few points of interest and use the rest of the objects as background
you might get better results.

The modelling and textures are very good. Perhaps a subtle normal map to add
small bumps and imperfections might improve them, but otherwise I can't see much
to improve there. Very impressive for a newbie!
