I'm a perfectionist...but the truth is the photo isn't that far off from the original, I just like to tweak things, even if they are very slight. So even though it's a lot of steps, it wasn't that much editing done.
Yeah...set on a box in front of my front door with my mini tripod and shutter release cable. I taped white paper to the door and set a white paper on the box, and voila! An...almost studio?
I know this shot won't do well, but who knows...

There's a slight feel of imbalance in this shoe, like it's falling away from the viewer. Also, for a shot playing on lines rather than detail the rough edge of the sole in the front of the shoe is a bit distracting. But - nice background and good feel about the shot in general.
i really like this shot saw it last night when the challenge started, and i thought hey some 1 knows sipmle but strong. its a nice clean bold graphic image and it deserves good placment in the challenge. i hope it gets it. GL
