Very refreshing. I love the curves of the water fountain, the shadows of the water. Must be great to walk underneath it when it's warm.

Greetings from the critique club Pedro!

This is so funny, my first critique in over a year and I get given a red ribbon! And here is a little known fact, you joined DPC on my 50th birthday!

So, to the image, what can I say? your first submission and a red ribbon. This is a great product shot, excellent composition and you got the 'splash' just right. I;ve just read you comment below and yes, the choice of this shoe helped this become a winner as the colours work well with water and it was nice to hear how you worked out the buoyancy.

I have to own up and say I was one of the 42 voters that gave a 6. Why just a 6? whilst its a really good shot I've seen many similar shots (not shoes) so it doesn't have the uniqueness for me that it might have done for others. A niggle I have is the laces and personally I'd have lost them by cutting them down or hidden them in the shoe or had them at full length. The exposure is spot on and the shoe is nice and crisp and if the droplets top left had been super sharp this might have been an 8 from me.

I do hope we see more of the same from you Pedro but you already have a lot to live up to!

Congratulations! Welcome to DPC you will love the experience and I look forward to seeing your future work.

I just realized after reading your post that you beat your mentor. How awesome is that? Not only is De Sousa an exceptional photographer, but he also shares his wonderful talents. Bravo to both of you.
