The first thing that came to mind when the subject was footwear; some guy laying on the ground in a pool of blood without shoes. Although I would have liked to have gone ahead with that idea, I decided to tone down the violence and anti up the action, so I got my dad to pretend he's stealing my shoes off my feet. Tried using some black make-up on my face, (a la cousin Joey), to give myself a battered look. Hopefully this will fare better than my last two entries.
As for the title, just a fancy way of saying "shoe theft."

Great composition and the body language of the models. Naturally, the image is a bit dark - the plot happens in a dark place. I would not have guessed that the big guy is stealing the shoes withoug reading your comments. That other idea of yours was very good, perhaps even better than this. It's a pity you had to compromise.
I see now, working on the computer at my school, just how dark monitors can be. I suppose others do not have as clear a monitor as I possess, and that probably led to some of the bad scoring I received. I guess I will have to amp up the brightness for next time.
Powerful emotions playing on the faces - intense - makes me wonder if when that shoe flies free if I will get hit - nice composition, angles, lighting and focus. You are my pick!!!
