My slippers taken at home. Used the kit lens after experimenting with both the 50 mm and telephoto. Lamps on both sides. I tried diffusing, but don't think it worked very well. Cropped a little. Adjusted brightness.

Great subject, but I don't like the background. If these are well worn everyday shoes, show them in the normal surroundings... next to the bed, by the front door, etc.
Technique is good, so my score will be decent, but there is more that you could do with this subject.
i like the texture and detail of the shoes. photo could be alot stronger if the shoes filled the frame, maybe focusing on important parts. black and white might be interesting also.
Comic. Dont know if a black or a velvet background is the right one for such a shot but maybe that´s intentional to produce some contrast effect. Could have been better lit expecially on the toas where it shows best how worn they are.
