good choice of "background." i almost missed "the ghost." if it weren't for the feet, I would have just thought you found an old house to shoot in.

Compositionally, I like how the one foot is very visible/prominent and the second is not as clear. It helps to add more depth to the shot. Also, I like the tight vertical crop you have chosen as it helps to emphasize the direction and shape of the feet.

Technically, this was an interesting approach. A completely legal, albeit more difficult route (in terms of planning and setup) way of doing a texture/overlay on a picture. It adds interest to the shot. The focus, colors and exposure are good.

I do wonder about bw in this. I think that would help to bring out the textures more and make the entire shot seem more uniform. By doing that, it would be more about how the textures and feet "relate" rather than two separate elements.

Besides the comments below on how to improve it, I will just say that to me, it looks like feet are frozen in ice.

Compositionally, the shot has some merit. The front grill of the car, which seems to be the main focal point, is in a good location for the shot to have balance.

Technically, with just a bit of post processing, I think you could probably have added at least 1, if not 2, points to your shot (if that, indeed, is your goal).

First, I would rotate the shot to the left, just a hair -- about 3 degrees -- not much. Granted the "tilt" is from your perspective when taking the shot, but it still feels crooked.

Then, a slight adjustment with curves or levels would probably eliminate the couple of distracting "things in the background, and they would give the car itself a bit of extra contrast and depth (commonly called "pop" on dpc).

Then, I would boost saturation just a hair to make the blue tarp a bit more vibrant.

It is not a lot, but it may be something that you could try to see if it gives it a bit more of a "finished" or "polished" feeling to it.

Please feel free to contact me if I need to further clarify or explain myself.

This looks almost like a negative image without being a negative. Nice work.

I like the composition in this and the contrast between the "coolness" of the bench and the warmness of the background.
