Nice job! I like how you managed to get the floor to fade into white as it goes back, highlighting these dark colored shoes, while making it not appear to much like a "studio stilllife". Well done!
I don't like the shoes...they seem old and dirty...smelly too. Nice positioning and I really like the black and white effect. I would have rated it higher if not so many people in this challenge took pictures of BOOTS.
remarkable detail and contrast in the boots. Is the washed out upper BG intentional? It's not bad, I sort of like it, but I bet some voters will use it as an excuse to dock you. Well done image, even after 100's of other pics of shoes.
The focus on this picture is great, and I like how you can see every detail from the shoes itself to the floorboards beneah it. It's simple and I like that about it too. Nicely done. :D
