would have been even better if the backgound was as 'harsh white' ?

I like the rough spots in these graceful objects, shows they are really used. Could maybe have used some light reflected from the right to lighten up the shadows just a bit.

Very good composition and the angle at which you caught the shadow to show the arch is great. The highlights are a little blown out on the toes of the slippers. 9

No idea if these are the same pair in the other current (or recent) challenge but I much prefer this image. Looking at the shoes face on to one provides more interest, texture and focal point - the text adds interesting detail. The shadow also adds something to the frame though I'm not sure it's position in the frame relative to the shoes is quite right. A lovely shot telling just the first part of the story - who's shoes are these and what is her story?

I think the lightning is a bit too harsh here and the shadows too you could have put something in front of the light to soften the lightning, and I think the shoes should have been in the right side of the picture cause the shadows are there But its a beautiful idea Would like to see pictures if you try this again, mabey with other than white background? - 6
