It's a risk moving in a lateral direction. You are not the only person to avoid actual feet for this challenge. To be honest, I've had enough feet by now. This is a great photo that deserves to do very well. I hope the voters agree. (Top three for me!)
I have NO clue what these are, but I love the picture anyway. They look like some sort of feet contraptions, so I'm assuming it fits the challenge. And the blue color is beautiful. Very nice image.
The subject here is only barely tangentially within the subject of the challenge, therefore it is not the best of the group in that one reguard. As a shot in a gallerey it is amazing and near perfect. I feel bad giving it an 8 both because it should be lower because the challenge is skirted, and it should be higher because this is great work.
