I think this is a really neat idea. The thing that lets the image down, for me, is the focus. All of the shoes needed to be in sharp focus for this to work. I think the background works well, just get the shoes in focus and you'd have scored much better (in my opinion) :o)
I thought this would be better and I just wanted to clarify that the background is black because it's the sky..the shoes are chimes like a wind chime...and it's not stars in the background it was raining...I hope to get better at my photos...maybe better luck next time
I like the idea behind this image. I like how the raindrops look like stars in this picture. The picture looks kinda blurry to me. Don't know if there was some camera shake or if the original picture was small, or if the focus was off.
