I just couldn't find a pair of man-made shoes with a package this cute... Meet my baby sister, Hannah, 6 months. :D I got this idea while watching her pull at her feet and trying to stick them in her mouth.

Congratulations on getting through your first Challenge.You have entered a priceless image of this lovely little baby.
Compositionally, I'd suggest that you crop the image a bit tighter; the carpet really doesn't do much of anything to enhance the picture. Perhaps, instead, you might introduce a brightly patterned pillow. The lighting is quite good - a bit of light to the right wouldn't hurt. And you might want to explore photographing Hannah from different angles, although I realize you wanted to accentuate the feet.
Finally, you learned early that voters take the Challenge theme extremely seriously. So, while this is an appealing image, most felt it just didn't meet the challenge of photographing shoes...
You have a good eye, and I'll look forward to seeing more of your work in future Challenges.
a bare foot kind of misses the purpose of the challenge.
Since you did ask what you could have done differently on the boards her e is what i would have done. Destaurated the carpet - the different colour speckles are distracting.
Either focused the camera on babies face, or if you really wanted it to be a feet photo used a shallowed DOF and focused completely on the feet. Right now the focus seems to be the bum.
Gotten a little more above baby, more looking srtairght down so not to hieghtlight the paer shape the diaper makes the baby appeear to have (personally i would have used a nude baby but thats just me)
I do like the placement of the baby in the frame - as far as DNMC photos go, this is definately in the top.
Cute baby.. but I don't see any shoes. A tad out of focus I think, but overall a nice shot, just wish it had something to do with shoes and not just a play on words in the title.
cute shot, it would have done it for me more if the baby was smiling, or had a toe in it's mouth :) The ligting seems a little bright from the left side.
