After two (and a half) lunchtimes and almost 100 photos, this was absolutely my best effort in trying to capture a candid shoe picture (this week). So it goes.
Oh, and it was 300mm. This is a new length for me so, handheld, I'm kind of pleased.(I could have chosen a better ISO with faster shutter speed but hey, I'm still learning).

I think this image would be a perfect candidate for a new technique I just learned about: Partially correcting blur, in select impact areas, by using the smudge tool... basically you get into it with the magnifying glass and smudge around important edges, like the toe or heel of the boot, to solidify it a bit, just to give the eye an extra little something to hold onto. Just a thought! Maybe it could have an effect on this already great image.
I already scored it, but wanted to come back and give comments. I really like this photo. It's probably getting dinged for the softness, but I feel the blur contributes to the feeling of movement. This is one of my favorites in this challenge.
