For me this is one of the best shots in the challenge. A different approach to the majority and the composition is perfect. Well done - I hope you do well.
By far one of the most amazing shots in this challenge. At first I was a little distracted be the fact that the footwear was not the only focal point, but a great photo has several points that direct the viewer through the shot. I like it because you branched out and went away from the 'product line' approach. You made footwear very interesting and an integral part of your shot.
Too much enphasis on the background, may be a different angle would've help, concentrating more on the sandals and the sunset were in the faraway background...
I absolutely love this photo. My only nitpick is that the challenge says to make footwear the focal point and to me it's "best supporting actor" here.
But it all just fits together so well!
I wish I could add something that I think would improve this shot but I have looked at it now for about 10 minutes. I just can't find a damn thing wrong with it. It really makes me want to go on vacation and feel the sand between my toes. Bright beautiful colors and a very nice photo. Composition is perfect. This is my opinion is one of the best in this challenge. Good luck and I hope it wins.
