Thanks to my lovely wife and daughter, for their help.
My intention was to have my feet cocoon and embrace my daughter's feet in a relaxed pose (ankles crossed). I wanted her foot to be the focus and pop out against the other feet.
I set the shot up, and then had my wife click the remote shutter release. It took about 25 exposures to get this shot (the last one).
I don't have a studio, so I placed a black sweatshirt on our dining room table (where our feet were resting), balled up a black fleece vest (to elevate my daughters heels). I had my daughter wear black pants (as did I), and then held up a black coat as a back drop. The only light was natural and coming through a sheer panel on a small window. Four year olds tend to fidget alot, so it was difficult to get this shot.
It's good to have a sturdy table.
[ASIDE] She's going to be a big kid. At 4.5 years old, her feet don't look AS small as I expected next to my size 15s.

My guess?
4.85.
Reason(s)?
Cliche. DNMC. Too much noise. Boring. Hate feet. Not in Iceland. My toes are blurry.
I like it, and it's been too long since my last Challenge entry.

"Make something that you wear on your feet the focal point of your composition." Unless you're photographing foot-skin...I don't think this can fly (it's not a bad shot, though).
