I like this. Long exposures with flashlight assistance are full of potential, as you have demonstrated. Did you see any hot white pixels. I guess not seeing as this was a basic editing challenge.
When I tried some shots like this I saw some white pixels at 15 and 30 sec exposures. Easy to edit out, but this is not allowed for basic editing.
A great photo occurs when a great subject combines with great execution. In this case the execution is fine, but the subject does nothing for me. It's not that it's a bad photo, but rather a photo of a subject I don't want to look at. I am sure this sounds negative. Sorry.
I like the shoes! The effect is cool and the lighting is done better than I could ever do; but there is something about 'the spirit' that took a lot of examination before 'got it'.
