With Bells On

Interesting comments you got on this one. Some I agree with, some not. Had this been a shot of MY legs in bells, I would have definately gone with black and white cause my legs are so pale and white that that would be the only way to balance it out. LOL Anyway, I think that color would probably be a bad choice here because of the busy patterns on the rug and the skirt. Also, I think that black and white really brings our eyes to the darkest subject, which is right where you want them to be, on the bells.
The bells are so big that they make the feet look really small, giving a couple people the impression they are kids feet.
I think that the suggestion for a slower shutter speed is a bad one. While it would 'show motion' the entire shot would be blurry and in some cases, that just doesn't work. I think that it would not work here at all. That is just my opinion.
I think that the focus is already a bit soft, but not to the point of making the shot unattractive. I think it's still a very nice shot full of detail.
Good shot of something that makes sound.

Nice composition. There's a LOT of free space for type though. Perhaps the background could have been a bit more graduated, rather than blown out all the way down.

Your photo only misses the text of the magazine :). This is a very nice picture with all the different shades of brown. Well done!

Cool photo, but perhaps the top could have been cropped a bit more. There is a lot of white space. The shells add a nice touch.

With a setup like this, a blue backdrop would have been preferable to more closely mimic the beach setting. I'll assume your magazine exists; as a fashion magazine this is a reasonable setup. I don't know but that they might have chosen a more contrasting shoe colour and worked the text around it, though this way makes it easier for the copy compositor, certainly. Lots of space up top for copy, too.
