Soles Of Freedom

I agree with most of what's been said. Little things bother me -- such as the boot on the left of the picture is drawing my eye out of the picture instead of into it. It may have been stronger with the lower boot on the other side. The focus is a bit wonky, and so is the color. I still probably would have given it a 6, because none of these things makes that big of a difference.

What you'd need to do to get a higher score from me is to make me more interested. Tie it into something. As giantmike said, perhaps a more gritty setting. Or even some mud attached to the bottom of the boots with some bits coming off on the floor. Make me think of the work and sweat that happens in these boots. Context other than a front hall will have more meaning.

Also, did you try a different angle? Laying down on the floor and shooting straight in at the boots? It can be a little more personal point of view. Here's a different perspective with sempermarine's shot:

Congrats on the 7! Congrats on the ribbon and the G11 high!

But most of all -- congrats on the cycling shot not only in your top 5, but in your top 3!

Banana heart

I really have absolutely no idea what this has to do with love, other than the heart. But somehow a banana just doesn't say love to me.

However, I really don't care, because I like this one! -7-

I love the reflection of the trees -- it's incredibly wonderful!!

The ducks are nice. But the reflections are the picture. :)
