Does make you wonder, doesn't it? I mean why do people toss the shoes onto the line? Why are shoes so often along the side of the road? Are they run-aways?

composition crowds the edge of the image space, creating an undesirable tension

Not original enough, especially on the "heels" of the last SHOE challenge.

This is such a common site around here. What's up with this...besided the shoes?

I remember reading in my photography learning that if you have a bench in the picture you have to show both sets of legs else the bench will look like it should fall over. I think the same applys here that it would have been good to show the laces connecting to the rope.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi Manolo...

I particularly like 'chess-scapes' and I have done a few of them myself. I find it intriguing and the pieces come to life when photogrpahed in certain compositions. I think this composition could be improved somewhat by shifting your angle of view to the left just slightly where the pieces in the foreground fall inbetween the pieces facing us in the back. This would possibly create some interesting separation within the image. I believe this photo may have scored below average in the challenge because of the particular perspective you chose. The perspective itself doesn't provide enough impact to sway the voter.

Keep up the good efforts :)
