Shoes

Not sure why I took this, there was just something about it that caught my eye:




Exposure: 0.04 sec (1/25)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 200 mm
ISO Speed: 200
Exposure Bias: -2/3 EV
ISO Speed: 200

It is an odd shot, but slightly appealing as well. The reflections from the base of the heels to the ground are quite interesting as is the contrast between the deep blue floor and the wall. There is also an 'out of place' feel here too - the dressy shoes and the seemingly withered surroundings.

I personally would crop a bit tighter around the reflection points - the blue space is a little to great here. Maybe a good black and white render or some color adjusting could help exxagerate the contrasting feelings here as well.

i like it, but i don't. not sure.

i would have liked to have seen some more of the calves, but judging by the ankles, it looks like they have kind of 'cankles' so maybe not with this particular model. if anything, i would suggest cropping the picture so it appears more in portrait orientation rather than landscape orientation. another suggestion might also be to clone out that crack on the gray wall in between the feet as it's kind of distracting.

the exposure's spot on, the colors look great, and i dig the hint of reflection in the blue pavement!

This any better now:

I love the great colors and basic composition. I would like it much more if the shoes were at a flatter angle and pointing in an interesting manner.
