Shot several shoe store window displays on my way home last night, Thom McAn, Aerosole, Cole Hahn, Puma, amongst others. Finally decided the best was this from the window of the Kenneth Cole store.

The background is far too busy for these shoes. The shoes themselves have so much detail - the many skinny straps, plus the patterns ON those straps, heel, colors etc. A calm surface and background would let the shoes stand out a lot more.
Looks like too much going on in the shot. Nice shoes but if you placed them with a plain background or even a plain single colored surface they would show up better and not blend in so much.
Looks like a window display, and as a window display I'm sure it gets lots of attention but as a photograph, well it's quite busy. The colours go really well together and the lighting is well executed too but like I said the papers just doesn't seem to belong in this picture. And I still stand beside my belief that this is a window display :P
