The lighting is harsh. The position of the boots in the frame works but a plain white background has no impact. Maybe with a different background and if the boots were a bit scuffed up (after an exercise and before you polish them again) you could generate some impact.
a little new looking don't ya think ;-) nicely done, i like the studio effect, esp. because the subject is black. couldn't you have found a camo frame?
A perfect 10. Very beautifully done, I like the texture of the leather, the lighting, the composition, the shadows. The frame is perfect, bold for the bold boots.
Excellent
