This is totally evil... It is the face of a cock-a-roach staring from the pit of hell, yelling as if to say "I am coming to your kitchen to terrorize your children!"

The Touch Line

Nice camera angle giving a different and interesting viewpoint. The photo is somewhat grey and lacking in tonal depth. It looks like the contrast was dialed down. The depth of field used gives a good sense of distance in the photo and prevents it from being flat.

Nice setup shot. I would rather see the subject in focus. It appears the focus point is at a spot on the net.

Soccer or Football? That is the question.

Now that I got that over with... With the total black background, seems to me a portrait orientation would have been a much better choice to keep the faded black in the top third only. Nice job with the off camera lighting here though!

Very nice composition. The weed in the foreground sticks out like a sore thumb! You could have picked it prior to shooting for a cleaner look.

Just Do It

Nice color but a little over saturated and over sharpened. I like the depth of field and the composition. One thing to try would be to eliminate the green background by raising the camera angle and shooting down on the shoes. Also possibly using a diffuser on the left side to even out the light.

Worn Out

Lighting and sepia tone is good. You used some depth of field and it gives it an old fahsioned feel. One troubling spot on the heel of the shoe where it is bright white with a significant loss of detail. It also appears along the top edge of the other wite spots on the same shoe. I like the image but the troubled spots keep it from being a high scorer in my voting range.
