Metal is difficult to photograph and you did a nice job, although I would have preferred a deeper dof

The metallic tones in this are nice, I like the surface imperfections (granite?) as well. the highlight on the spigot is a bit strange, almost glowing.

Like the DOF.

Comment by JakeYee:
I think this shot is great. The fact that you used a shoe that somewhat resembles the rock in texture and grit makes it blend together well.

That is one lonely shoe...nice texture in the rocks around the shoe.

I must say how beautiful this work is, gorgeous journey, puts me right there on the road.. or at least makes me want to be right there on that road. Well done! That said, I can't quite wrap my mind around how it fits in the challenge, I suspect you have a private journey that you are expressing here, but it doesn't change the challenge. In a free study I would have given this at least an 8 or 9.
