I was going through my closet not long ago and noticed how many pair off shoes I have, and how consistent my taste is, because a lot of pairs are almost identical. I checked some friends closets and cloncluded the same. And yes, choosing from 20 pair almost identical shoes is indeed very difficult.
You know what's the worst? I didn't throw ONE pair away after taking this picture, I put them all back, knowing I will probably never wear them. We are really nuts!

I like the tones in this shot, but I do wonder if color would have added more interest in this being a "choice."
The angle of this does add interest to the shot, and I think overall the exposure is pretty good - although I agree that the white shoes distract from the rest of the photo because of their brightness. So technically, aside from the white shoes, I like this shot well enough.
The subject choice itself does not really carry much interest for me. When I judge a photo's strength in meeting the challenge, I first look at the shot without a title and without knowing for sure which challenge it was in - and see if I can figure it out. I can figure it out with this one, so the connection to the challenge is there - I just don't personally find it an interesting way of conveying choice. I didn't vote on the choices challenge, but I would have given this one a 6.
Shoes might have made a more interesting subject with some color maybe -and a more unique composition? Maybe include some feet with a different shoe on each foot and a pile of shoes nearby? Just some thoughts.
