I'm not expecting a high score for this...
In Japanese schools (and houses), outdoor shoes are for outdoors. The students wear white canvas shoes inside, and they wear separate shoes for the gymnasium, permamnently stored in the shelves in the entrance hall.
I had to shoot this through the glass of the door as the door was locked.

personally, i would have cropped out the bugs on top, because i find them distracting and contrary to the wonderful pattern-geometric-thing you have going on here. but, it's a really cute bug... :-)
The carpet at the bottom and the designs at the top give this image a point of view - I'm guessing a school. But when the image is cropped to eliminate everything at and above the black horizontal line, a great pattern/ line picture of shoes emerges.
I love the colors! Great positioning on the shoes, though it might have been fun if they were shoved into random holes halfhazardly, as kids tend to put them.
this image is out of foces. The rake of shoes by them selves would have made an interesting image but the extra green pin up board at the top takes away from the image.
That the shoes are not all perfectly in the boxes and evenly distrubitued is a strong point in this image.
I think this is a great idea for a photo. It seems that critics feel that amidst a whole lot of one thing (white shoes) you should include one that doesn't quite fit (like a red shoe for example) or maybe all on one side except for a lone one in the corner? In any case, good idea. It might work better if sharper and more cropped?
Nice job
Are these for rent or something? Like bowling shoes? What is the signifigance of the bug's picture? I am really trying to get this shot. The shoe sizes look too big to match the little-kid-switches-shoes-to-go-to-gym scenario I am imagining.
