Well taken. It's not in your face grungy or offensive, exposed properly and the composition isn't bad. Only thing that could be improved is the cut off socks. One sock is darker than the other, maybe a little more light over on the right.
Great idea, nicely lit and well executed. I would have liked this better in color. It would bring out the composition better, highlighting your diagonals and (probably) showing that the socks had been worn.
Great idea. This reminded me of a Girl Guide song: "Black socks, they never get dirty, the longer you wear them, the stronger they get. Sometimes, I think I should wash them, but someone keeps telling me ..... no, no, not yet! "
Yah - I get the smell!!! Lighting seems a touch low on background ball, and that tends to make left of frame a little duller. Just doesn't quite feel balanced to me. That said, one of the better entries in the challenge, for me.
Good shot! I like the composition, however, my eye seems drawn to the basketball while I think it should be the smelly socks! Would also be nice if the socks were in the focus-field, as would just a little more contrast in the overall image.
I know that smell. Bad smell, Good shot. If you really wanted to get into it, I wonder how you could have further lit or tweaked the colors to emphasize the pungence and really make it clear that this is a smelly shot and not just a sports shot. The socks alone really do a lot of the job though. Good shot.
