interesting photo. feels like the viewer is about to get squashed which is a cool effect. i would have liked the back shoe to be in focus also.

You nailed this shot ... in midstride! Rumbling down the track of an elemental theme, this piece works because all its components move right into the viewer, just as the stride does. The white BG isolates the activity and forces the eye to remain riveted on the freight train bearing down. The crisp focus on what is about to hit, aids in identity and proximity. But the best part of this composition is the trailing foot that, though only an apparition at this point, we know is going to clobber us soon after the front foot lands. It is this anticipation that forces our eye to survey the scene and calculate how much longer we have until impact. Great conception and execution! One of my top ten picks for this week's challenge.

Interesting photo! This idea is creative and I love how the shoe in the front is in such good focus. (Not to mention the colors are nice) Simple, but nice.

Wow. I don't know how you got this photo to turn out, but kudos to you for pulling it off in the open challenge. The clarity of the shoe is amazing. Nice work.

love how the dof seperates the bottom of the shoe from legs.

I really like the texture in this shot, and the fact that background doesn't distract from the subject.... Great work, I love how you approached this.
