Just decided to make use of my Honolulu apartment stairs. Grabbed my favorite shoes and incorporated some "Aloha" into my shot. And yes, I love orange:)
Threshold, Curves, Selective Color, Unsharpen Mask and small border.

cool picture. the pose is good, and the unusual composition is refreshing. processing is very nice as well, resulting in a broad tonal range. the border seems unnecessary, and its color is distracting.
I think the fingers shouldn't be in t he photo ( not good to chop them off as you have done either, they need to be in or out.) The flower is pretty but isn't adding to the scene. i would have cropped the bottom half more and dropped the floor on the step for more drama.
Really nice photo. Everything's in pretty good focus, the idea is original, and the colors are good. I think it woud've been better if the picture cuts off before the bottom of the stairs so that all you can see is the lady with the shoes and the stairs.
The colors in this are so pleasing & easy to look at! So much care was taken with this image that I have to assume the tilted look is on purpose. However, it's the only thing that makes this image a little less comfortable to look at. Great image nonetheless. Congrats! 9
I'd remove the flower. It detracts from the down home look of the rolled up jeans. I like the angle of the steps - not being perfectly level works for this.
