 No shoe laces, Run DMC wore theirs like that. Also a popular fashion trend with breakdancers and kids now that want to be "retro".

No real good ideas this week. I tried to do a rubik's cube but didn't want to spend the extra money on something that I wouldn't even use. Stopped thinking about the challenge, but I was bored tonight (20th) so I took random photos and thus this photo and the accompanying border was born. Might be too dark for some people, but that's ok.

Nice b&w, my comment,( i think you get some of this) is the cropped lower part of the pic.

I like the lighting, but I'd like to be able to see the toes - composition is slightly off.

I think less croping and thinner border would give you more points from me but if I don't think of those things then I like your picture. -7

Excellent light and composition. I don't know if the focus is a bit off or if it's just image compression. I could imagine having something like this on the wall at home.

Nice black and white - love the lighting and a good subject as well. Good choice to remove the laces.
