A good shot, nice composition & a great job burning the background out. I was thinking that the brand name would really restrict the possible uses for this shot, but I guess any ski shop that sells that brand could happily use it. Good work, well done.
I think this would work as a stock photo, except for the fact that it features a brand name. That makes it useless for anything except an advertisement for that brand!
This is an excellent photo! The sharpness is fantastic, the composition just screams stock photo! However, and I am sure you'll get other comments about it, there is already advertising on the boots "Salomon" and no company will buy a stock photo with the logo of a different company on it.
This is a very nicely executed photo. The lighting is great and this would make a great ad photo for Salomon. I believe this photo would be rejected as a 'stock' photo since the brand name of the boots is visible and would probalby be considered trademark infringement to use as stock photography... - setzler
Good composition. You've left enough space that a photo editor could make this a "portrait" or "landscape" crop and still have a very usable image. Sharp enough throughout to please a photo editor, too. Sometimes, though, they don't want to see brand names. You've done a good job.
