Greetings from the Critique Club.

First impressions are that this has a great style to it.

Technically this is good. The lighting is good, composition is great, DOF is used well.

Artistically I have to agree with many of the commenter's that the nail polish bottle is more of a distraction than an asset here. If it weren't in the frame then we'd have a great line being formed with the legs and the shoes but we now have an "L" shape for our eyes to follow. The shot tells a great story, or at least it let's our minds create a story and that's what you want from a shot, something that engages the viewer.

In summary a great shot that has potential to be even better.

Feel free to PM me if you have any queries.

Superb! DOF brilliant! Makeup container (okay I'm a guy ... Is it nail polish?) a brilliant addition.

I'd not have included the bottle of nail polish. To me it pulls my eye away from the shoes. Love the DOF.

not even sure how to comment on this image. Great use of shallow depth of field. The elements you've presented um..really tell a story. Wow...

Great use of shallow DOF. Thinking if it would be better without the bottle...
