Looked for something that would encompass flora new and old, earthy with some color. My wife's garden supplied the subject. . . a variety of flora with the added feature of a large hunk of rock. The boot reminded me that eventually the plants are gonna getch ya.' Cropped for effect then adjusted for contrast.

Greetings from the critique club... as I said before I felt this photo was washed out and could have used a better point of interest. I felt that having so much in the photo makes it really busy. I like your use of old and new... thats a good photography trick, it puts things into perspective, also you have some great texture in here. It looks really sunny... did you take this around noon? I would have tried to get it when the sun was shining one way, or if you had a kind of greyish day. Like I said before getting down and making the boot look HUGE would have been pretty cool. The brightness in the upper left hand corner really takes my eyes away from the subject. Good job of everything being sharp, though I think if you got down and used a much lower aperture setting, the blurred background migh look better and take away from the backgroudnd distractions... interesting idea though... I would definitely continue working with that shoe as a phtoographic tool. Good luck in your next challenges!
I think this shoe with the flowers in it would make a great 'isolated' composition so it stands up and makes a stronger statement... excellent idea :) - setzler
The entire photo looks a little washed out to me. I would have tried getting down on the flowers level and shot from there instead of just looking down at them, it would have made them look bigger. Also I would have came in closer on whichever you intend to be your subject (the shoe?) as right now it is very busy.
