Great subject, great title. The lights in the photo seem a little too bright to me -- I almost feel like I have to squint to see everything. Still, one of my favorites for the week.
Challenge well met. (claimed milage questionable) Background, not crazy about. Focus is good. Framing: well, you cut of a toe and a third of a shoe. These two issues could have been on purpose, but it makes me want to ask why? My guess on the background is, you were attempting to "blank" it; as for the cropping of the shoes, I have no idea. I started you as a 6, the shoes still seem whole (my oldest tennis shoes have sole talk and holes all over), but the shot is really very good. How about bumping up one to a 7, O.K? Swash
I think you chose an excellent subject for this challenge... The composition of this photo is nice, but I think the lighting is just a little too harsh. I like the shadows, but a darker backround may have removed some of the impression of the lighting... good shot :) - jmsetzler
I can see what you were trying to do with the framing here but I dont think you went far enough with the idea. Perhaps if you'd stood furher back fromj the subject and introduced more negative space it would have helped. Besides I kinda like the idea that not even the photographer wanted to get too close to these shoes!
very nice image. love the cropping. i'm such a big fan of b&w. when i see a cool shot like this i always wonder how it would look in b&w. good texture and detail.
A classic. A bit bright for my taste at the bottom, but that light gives a nice shadow and good details on the shoes. Just out of curiousity, is it natural light or other? karmat
