Thanks to my wife for posing in uncomfortable shoes and an uncomfortable position. This is my first submission as a member. I am hoping for at least a 5.

"Off to work." is a wonderful entry into the Pick Two Challenge. I think it is so great when you exceeds your expectations of the shot you have entered.
The image is obviously very well put together. Black and white was an excellent choice, to enhance all of those key features, like the rings on the shoes and accent letters on the bike. The composition is excellent, the shot feel complete. I think the black border is a nice addition. I really can see anything I would change, you just did an excellent job.
Congrats on the Top Ten finish, especially since this is your first official member challenge! Your wife is an awesome support my husband has to pretty much be dragged kicking and screaming into any shot.
My wife and I are very pleased with our showing. Like I said, we were hoping for at least a 5. To be in the top 10 is just amazing. Thanks to all who voted and commented.
Best of the bike/heels shots... IMO. I am not sure about including a foot in the shoe as this is not one of the items to use... but very good work.....
Wow - those are some platforms!!! Love the high contrast. Interesting. One distracting thing are the letters TR on the bike. I know that's part of it, but I think if you cloned it out, it'd be just a touch more artful. 8
