Had to do this shot a few times before I got it the way I wanted; I wanted some motion blurring in the shoe; but I could not get it, at first, because I was moving my foot downward; and it was not showing because my foot grew bigger to the camera as it moved closer to it; so I managed that part by moving my foot upward, and I got the initial motion blur, as shown by the transparency on the side of the shoe; then I added some more motion blur to it in Photoshop. I added the motion blur to a layer that had only the shoe not the whole image.
I, then, selected the sky area which was white because of overexposure, and brought down the red and green to where I had the blue I liked.
Then, I did some levels correction cropped, resized, sharpened and saved.
Oh, the camera was on timer, and I had to make it take a focus reading, click it and move my foot in the correct rage for the focus; with an f2.8 to get a good DOF, it was not easy.

nice colours but blury not sure if you were going for that, but I think it takes away from the shot. alos isn't this really an 'underside' shot rather than a 'backside' shot?
LOL!!!! Great take on the challenge!!!! Not simply a good idea either, outstanding execution. Virtually everything in this shot is perfect (especially dof and the expression on the model) top top job
