 These are my son's boots and my daughter's riding boots. When off the children, the boots are calm and serene, when on the children all hades can break loose! ;)

Nice shot and interesting choice of color and composition. Without the title, the picture doesn't convey any conflict message.

Nice image. Good composition and great job on a tough exposure however, I don't get the conflict that this is supposed to represent....

How can you possibly think this shows any conflict, implied or otherwise? It is a great photo however, that I will gladly give a 7

I like the low-key effect here, although I think it might be just a tad bit *too* dark.

too dark grey needs more contrast

Okay, guess I see the conflict here but don't really find this very interesting to view. Technically, not bad at all and I can't fault it.

This would have worked better in the "Black" challenge.

Good contrast except the outline of the boots is hard to judge.

too dark. the boots are barely distinguishable and (for me) does not fit the challenge well - it doesn't say 'conflict' without an explanation. Show the pic to strangers, and say nothing. Ask "What is the first thing that comes to mind?" or even 'What is the conflict in this image?' and let me know if anyone gets it.

Good composition, but background is too dark for the boots.
