Nice idea. This beat-up turf detracts from the shoes and doesn't look very nice. How about putting both shoes on the bench, and shoot from higher at the shoes on the bench so that the turf is not featured.
I like nearly everything in this shot. Only minor thing is the tops of the goal posts get lost in the clouds a bit, but that's pretty minor. I love the positions and lighting on the shoes. Good job!
I like this photo, the idea, the mood, the meaning. I don't like the lighting. The sky is so flat and yes, you can't control that but the flash or the harsh light on the shoes distracts for me. Over all your depth of field is excellent and the composition. Best of luck in the challenge.
Interesting composition and use of black and white. I would probably prefer less sky since it's not adding much drama to the image, but that is just me. Good entry. :)
A good concept at it meets challenge. I like the unique POV but I think that it is that POV that also hurts this image. By shooting from low the background details like the posts get lost in the sky a bit. I also feel the lighting is a bit harsh on the boots: 6
Did you use your flash here? The objects in the forefront seem to be more harshly lit and the background isn't well lit at all. I'm guessing this looks better as a B&W, so good call on that. Still, good idea, just needs a little tweaking.
