Nice photograph! This is interesting, and I can relate to feeling of getting new shoes. I think this shot would so much nicer right side up. Good job

This is weird.

If it is a commercial, it doesn't really benefits the shoe.
If it is art, I don't realy understand the choiced made by artist.

Take care :)

Must agree with you. Thanks! E

I like the idea of the concept you are going for here, but the execution is lacking. A few pointers - the drop shadow on the inside of the image is distracting and out of place. Turn the image back around so it is right side up, there is enough interest in the colored strap of the shoe that you don't have to resort to gimicky tricks. Shot is too hot, too much flash, making the feet and white parts of the shoe seem washed out. Nice try though.

I have no idea what yor going for here! The framing is kind of akward and the photo is eqeually awkward. I'm not really sure what to say...

You lack of words suitable for a response is enough. Believe me, no offense taken. I'm a artist and a novice photographer trying to experiment with inadequate equipment or training (forthcoming). I'm also a risk-taker, so I don't mind putting on display "what I have" because the feedback is helpful.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Its definetly a picture of a shoe, but whats your angle. Abstract Art? I'm confused on what your going for here. The image also looks a bit grainy

Ah. At least you gave me "good".........I think it's really bad. My angle? I'm frustrated & looking for an outlet. An artist thirsty for feedback on my paintings, but only a very average camera to use for photography. As for this shot, specifically. The image is bad, I agree.

But we move so fast as a society. I wanted to capture (trigger) the awesome thrill and vibrant feeling something as simple as simple as a new pair of shoes can make a woman feel. Even if only for a moment. Take time to enjoy the little things. Even better if they were on sale!

Comment from Papa
cmafiaprincess, you have a great title here, and certainly an interesting and imaginative perspective, but I'm afraid it is not a good photograph. Seems to me the background is to busy and that the image is seriously overexposed and out of focus.
Peace, Papa
