most clever shoe idea yet. Though for a balanced composition i would have liked to see something in the bottom right. perhaps a pair could have ripened and fallen off...perhaps that's going a bit too far...you did fine.

wonderful shot. excellent lighting and focus. great overall composition. though the more i look at it, the more the placement of the handbag feels forced...unless of course this was a candid, at which point i will now shut up. But before I do...the border was too daring, and i find it distracting.

interesting lighting. wish you hadn't cropped out the full hand...seems to be a bit of a key point in the composition's idea

i really like the technique you have used. your lighting makes it looks like a sculpture. i wish you had chosen a different composition. perhaps cropping out the bottom would help.

Thank You

nice feeling. great lighting. i feel like i'm sitting there a part of the conversation. you've done a great job to take this beyond what could have been another basic snapshot. i think your choice of border helps alot as well.

i'm thinking this image needed a grandpa in it to enhance its appeal and add a more touchy feely family connection.

seems a bit over sharpened. the doorway is distracting as well are the shoelaces running off of the page. I think this could have been a more interesting shot from a different angle with a bit more exotic lighting.

Universal Symbol

well i can't figure out what you've done here...so it is intriguing in that respect. At first i thought it was a mirror image but I think i see 4 different rings which seems odd as a symbol for marriage. anyway, the light refractions from the glass around a couple of the rings are a bit annoying. the centered composition is a bit static. the background color and lighting are terribly bland, though your shadow removal was well done. your focus is very soft. perhaps perusing the previous jewelryadvertisement challenge might provide some useful insight.

nice focus on the face. i like this better than most of the snapshots. conveys a nice family moment. the moving spoon is very distracting

i like that you have the road leading off to a good focal point so this pic isn't totally centered. it seems you might have distorted things when you resized it. the lighting is tough, but next time try to expose for their faces (currently under exposed) so you have better detail in them which i assume would be your main point of interest in this shot. the lighting is low so you need to be really firm when holding the camera because in this instance your focus is soft (blurry).
