This is a great photo of some boots. Very soft feeling. But it needs some brighter white somewhere in the photo. Otherwise it just looks too plain and dull.
You should have used the whole photo size of 640x640, instead of 500x, BECAUSE this is really a GREAT capture, love the mood in this photo, lovely BW conversion too! Good luck ;-)
Excellent picture.. too bad it wasn't larger.. if you look on the tutorial section, it will tell you how to save so it's the proper size... I won't penalize you though.. 8
The overall tone looks great (the brigtness balance).
The composition could be a bit higher looking more down on the shoes.
The depth of field is good because the blades up front are out of focus and the fence in the back is out too.
Maybe just a slight flash fill on the boot that is standing, but otherwise it's a great photo, even worth hanging in a room somewhere.
