Thanks for all the positive feedback! and WOW! I wasn't expecting many votes over 6, to be honest! Thanks to all who took the time to understand the concept and implications behind this photo...Sometimes I wear the boots, too! :)
Amazing composition. The lines create some interesting sub-sections in the overall framing, and other lines if you follow them lead your eye to the next object in the shot. The corner of the right boot perfectly stops at the heal of the shoe in the foreground, with the lace falling parallel, creating an amazing relationship between the two objects. Some darkening in the corners from the lens.
