Ahh, workboots. At first this just looks like a nicely-done photo of a pair of boots sitting on pavement, but the more I think about it the more I like what it says (in keeping with your title). I've never lived in a house where at least one person didn't wear work boots every day -- a very different kind of life from the one where work shoes are meticulously shined. :) Nice capture, pardon my rambling.

I'd do some burn on the shoes and crop out to the right so they are less centered. I like the DOF and the whole idea is a good one.

Colour is awesome, I hope it wasn't just all processed in, but I'm going to assume not. This could have done with a crop, but I'll leave that up to you. 8/10

Could have cropped a bit thighter I think, would have made it more exicting perhaps? All this imo, obviously. Good luck!
