chuck taylors? i remember those..excellent focus from the other shoe view point original and great white bground hard not to blow out part of the laces on this shot 9
Enjoy your blue ribbon. This is an excellent study. I like the textures in the shoe in the back and the affective use of the eye hole to focus on the logo. Nice work! 10 -danny
Actually, I find the "star" in the eyelet distracting - too bad, as the bright red of the shoe plus and the shoelaces are great and would have been enough for me.
WOW! This is one of the cleverest shots I've seen for ages - talk about really looking for a new angle on a straight-forward object! I love the use of one shoe as frame to the other.. it really makes the DOF choice zing out!
Good idea as far as the composition goes - I think it misses just a little, but it's a challenging idea, so I'll give you an extra point for "level of difficulty"! What "bothers" me about it is that there's so much of the foreground (blurred) sneaker, that my eyes have trouble settling on the small star in the eyelet. Maybe this was the best it could be, but I wish you could have gotten the eyelet bigger, getting more of the star emblem, and less of the close canvas (and even better if you could get a little more of the far shoe showing on the right). Maybe that's all impossible - but it would have really been cool if you had gotten it. Everything else is good - ligting, color, contrast, focus, etc.
Holy Crap-- this blew me away when it came up-- this is one of the best shots Ive seen on DPC,, If this doesnt win, then someone is seriously wrong in here!!
