8 Queens on a Chessboard Puzzle

In chess, queens can move horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, as far as they like, as shown in the picture. We say that a queen can "attack" another piece if it can move into the other piece on the next move. How can you place 8 queens on a chessboard such that none of the queens can attack each other?

I hope the following positions for the 8 queens might hold aptly to the puzzle:
Queen 1 - Row 1 Column 5
Queen 2 - Row 2 Column 1
Queen 3 - Row 3 Column 8
Queen 4 - Row 4 Column 6
Queen 5 - Row 5 Column 3
Queen 6 - Row 6 Column 7
Queen 7 - Row 7 Column 2
Queen 8 - Row 8 Column 4

Place the dark colored queens on dark colored squares and light colored queens on light colored squares.
