 Upped sharpness in camera , but need more than basic Lightroom. CS5 would work, will try later.

Very good job of keeping everything black but the shoes and good light. To me, honestly it speaks more of childhood and perhaps parenthood than of family. Maybe a different arrangement of the shoes, introducing a third pair for a second parent, and/or tying up the laces so to connect all the shoes in a circle would have worked better. But again, it's just me, others might find the image very effective as it is.

Though I usually like things in odd numbers (as here), this grouping is not quite working for me. I would prefer to be able to see the back shoe more distinctly and to have another clearly different show rather than the pair of baby shoes -- unless this family has twins which I am going to assume is the case for the purpose of voting here :) Very nice lighting and tones.

Little shoes beside big ones is a nice idea to illustrate family, i.e an adult and child but I'm not feeling the 'floating' look. The shoes are sitting in jet black space with no suggestion as to what they're sitting on, which makes them look a bit floaty - the same often happens to shots on an all-white backdrop. Good focus on the shoes though, nice and sharp on the laces.

Nice setup makes them look like they are floating.
