I love the naturalness of this image. Great pose and clean color.

Black Velvet Shoes

This is me being really picky but the reds don't match. Too close in color, the vibrant red backdrop would be more flattering to say purple/black or yellow/black socks. Also, since I've already called out the fashion police, I'd clean up the bottom of the shoe for this type of studio shot.
I do give you credit for finding a fun shoe and going for an advertising quality image.

Close second for "most humorous" in the challenge, they should have ribbons for that.

So often we don't want shadows but this shadow actually compliments your choice of shoe. Love the angle, great B & W tonal balance.

Charming !! Something is missing, not sure if needs more tonal range, maybe the shadows mean lighting wasn't quite right. Checkerboard flooring doesn't compliment the shoes. Still a good image and clever set-up.

I gotta vote a 3 on this one, I just can't find any redeeming quality. Poor foreground, blown out background. Why did you set it up this way?
