Too unfocused. It has become rather uninteresting.

Shoe Leather Express...Taking Him Where He Wants to Go

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Photochix....

The challenge is met nicely with this photo... I particularly liked some of the images in this challenge that took alternative paths from the 'normal' modes of transportation that everyone would normally think about.

I think you did a good job of composing the legs/feet on the right hand side of the frame... that definitely works better than centering in a horizontal frame. I think this photo could also potentially be strong with centered legs/feet in a vertical frame, allowing the feet to fall on the bottom horizontal third line...

I think this composition could use a little color also... The skin tone of the legs stand out nicely, but if there was some other element of color here, i think it would benefit the image. Maybe some colored socks or something would create that little surprise element that makes the photo really jump.

I also think the shoe may be a little close to the bottom of the frame for comfort... A little extra breathing room there could strengthen the composition as well...

Keep up the good work :)

the idea was creative, other than that i think that this image could have used a lot of work, it is out of focus and the lighting is bad 3

Nice idea that has partly come through, but I do think that the glass lamp need a bit of cleaning as it looks pretty dirty around th top. I also looks as though it might be a bit out of focus. I know that normally it good to compose a picture using the rule of thirds, but sometimes breaking the rule can help create better pictures, which might have been the case.

Nice subject and composition, but rather too soft for my tastes.

The idea is good just a little unsharp tho.

You have attempted a very difficult shot. Low light on subject and intense light from the candle. This type of shot has to be taken with a very small f-stop and as long an exposere that you can use to keep the candle from being over exposed. As I said very difficult. 4

Comment by Toddh:
it might be wise to work on your focus..... please take this the right way, but surely you could see this was not sharp? could you not have re-shot it?
