The simple idea that ballet shoes can be graceful is good, and it also evokes thoughts of ballet itself--the most graceful of dances, many would say. The light here seems a little harsh, taking away from the grace of the shoes and your communication. With harsh light comes harsh shadows and an unnatural feel. You might try just going outside on a bright day and shooting these objects in the shade. I like your white background, so go ahead and bring a white background. I shoot most of my images on my porch. Anyway, nice composition with the shoes on a strong node in the lower left, and again, I really enjoy the simplicity of this shot.
I love this shot and gave it a 10. I like the crisp white background and the simplicity of the image overall. I also like how the shoes are off-centered. The ballet shoes fit the theme so nicely because ballet is so graceful. Super job.
i feel the stark background and harsh lighting really takes away from the idea of grace. would have been more effective with softer lighting and a more natural background.
I like the rough spots in these graceful objects, shows they are really used. Could maybe have used some light reflected from the right to lighten up the shadows just a bit.
I think the lightning is a bit too harsh here and the shadows too you could have put something in front of the light to soften the lightning, and I think the shoes should have been in the right side of the picture cause the shadows are there But its a beautiful idea Would like to see pictures if you try this again, mabey with other than white background? - 6
