this has some pretty interesting parts to it, but overall i think the subject is just a bit boring and the fact that it fills the frame doesn't really help it's case. it's kind of in-your-face. i like the depth of field and lighting, but i think it's just the subject/crop that detracts. 5.

......a lot of shoes have been shown lately. Certianly a good stilllife subject.... and this is one of the best I have seen. I enjoy the fine detail, clear and sharp. You have brought the mundane subject to life with good composition. I like the crop that shows a tilted, jaunty angle of the shoe, which imparts what a shoe is really like........ something that conforms to what is inside it! I enjoy the pic, good job.

Super work here. The contrasts work well, though I feel there may be just a tiny bit too much sheen on the boot itself. 8

Hi Anastasia ;)

First off.. I like this picture. But, there is something missing for me.

I think I want to see just a little more darkness in this shot. That's just personal opinion.

What I do like about this pic is everything else. I like the composition. the surface of the glass presented against the surface of the liquid (frozen water?). I even like tha back light. As for the mood, it makes me feel, well... light and airy, almost non-existant.

Just a tad more dark and it would have been striking, IMO. (Alternatively, cropping the light out of the picture might have worked as well...)


Good job, I think it should have placed higher!

Neat; I like the blue tone. Something about the staging of the glass seems odd but unfortunately I can't quite put my finger on it.
