washed out colours - why not underexpose this view?

I really like the feel of this shot. The white in the background is very strong, which works well for me in the shot. In addition, the pic has a slight grainy feel to it, which I like as well. I imagine some will complain about that, but I like it on this one!

Comment by Imagineer:
Well, there we are - a pair of feet. But what a lovely shot. And it almost makes them look - well, attractive - which, when sifting through the shots in this challenge is actually quite remarkable.

The white portion to the right of the scene is very distracting though and I would have removed it.

An interesting composition with nice lighting. It appears that it may have been sharpened to excess, though.

One light source are indeed very impressive studies. However, it is important to control the shadows. Your texture and lighting here are excellent. The only thing I would have done different is to have separeted the right foot enough to clear the stark shadow it leaves on the left. Bumping image from 5 to 6 on visual presentation.
