ha initially this struck me as an old pair of boxer's shoe's with laces...took me a minute to notice the glove. nice shot i bet it's getting hammered. i like it 6 ok i'm not sure if this was an intended or an unitended homage to david ashman but after reviewing his work i will assume it is, bumping this score to a 7
though this is a "still life" (isn't moving) it doesn't constitute being a still life...at least not in my head...I will give you extra point for clarity of your subject...(so for some you are way ahead)
Tribute to David Ashman? I like the concept, I just wish the lighting were a bit softer. Just having someone hole a white sheet between the sun and your subject would diffuse the light nicely.
