Thank you for all the comments. I knew when I uploaded it something was wrong with it. The original picture did not look so "squashed". I figured out after the challenge started what I did wrong so it was too late to fix it, and I deleted the original...so, oh well! A learning experience.

I feel like I'm looking at a tv with the wrong aspect ratio setting here, and it's uncomfortable. If this was resolved I would really like this study. Its a good composition and use of the line of the sole.
Looks very pixelated and distorted. You might be better off making the shot smaller, under 640, if the quality is low. Check out the tutorial on sizing for dpc. hope that helps.
