Critique Club:

This is a good, sharp, generally well exposed image. It's well composed, offering the focal point (shoes) close enough to the upper left intersecting thirds gridlines. It offers a nice duotone-like image with the predominately blue and white theme.

I think the choice to slant the pillar is key here, and a good design. I think even a little more pitch on the slant might have been a little more interesting, giving you a bisecting diagonal composition.

Small relatively non-significant issues here: the center bottom of the column is slightly hot; the bottom of the right shoe could have more shadow detail.

I am not sure what the real message is here; if a product shot, I am not sure the placement of the shoes would sell; if an artsy shot, I am not totally convinced it would "sell"; if it's a shot for running or sports enthusiasts, I think it would work very well for those who like nikes.

Overall, I think its done very well.

Great lighting, the tilted angle keeps this from being static. Adds a nice flow for the eye to follow.

Comment by willem:
good idea to put the shoes on a classical pillar, linking to the product name. Love the simplicity with all the white tints and then the color of the shoe.

while there are things that are technically good/pleasing about this photo, i'm afraid i had to give it a 1 because of the subject. i am personally offended by nike sneakers and the nike corporation, and since i vote here with my heart as much as with my head i have to vote against something i personally find offensive. i'm sorry it has to be this way, but i had to be honest with you about it. nothing personal... and good luck.

Nike thanks you, because they were losing their monopoly foothold in Greece.
