:: Hello from the Critique Club ::
............................................................
Challenge link: quite weak really - apart from the leaves, there is no clear link to November from the boots (or any calendar month), which would account for a vast majority of any low votes.
Image critique: the leaves are a little staged, looking more like a cluster than scattered and obviously the boots are placed there. It's well composed otherwise and there's plenty of detail and crisp focus. If anything it lacks real interest to carry it into the realms off 'specialness'. Improvements could have been:
> shooting form an unusual angle
> making it gritty, black and white
> cropping closer to show the contrast of textures without so much context
Out-of-challenge appeal: not much, given that the image has no 'wow' factor or clear meaning.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
