A cute and well taken pet pic [he(she)'s adorable btw], but the shoe seems very much secondary to the focus which is the dog. A different set up with the tattered shoe in the foreground as focal point with the dog behind looking all innocence and 'butter wouldn't melt...' would be much more effective in suiting this contest theme.

Very witty, and original take on the theme, however the nitty gritty technical aspects of the photography let this down. My eyes were finding it difficult to focus on anything here, and perhaps a wide-angle approach could have married the 2 elements and strengthened the illusion they're in the same plane.

Not the most inspired shot considering the possibliities available with these shoes. At a ballet class or something actually capturing them mid-pose, like standing up on their toes would have been a stronger image.

lines of shoes...pre practice stretch

Comment:
The composition works well for a sports shot, but it's a line of footballers if we're honest and not a lins of shoes. Doesn't fit the brief. Could have changed your viewpoint slightly by getting down and just catching the 'line of shoes' you mention in the frame, and nothing else.

The boots are completely lost in this shot, it's so dark and underexposed.

Very underexposed or dark. The composition doesn't seem to be imparting anything to me about these shoes.

Hehe, the second one of these stinky shoe pics I've seen. Very well done. Maybe the shoes are a bit underexposed and could be filled in with a flash or something, but very good nonetheless.

One the Line

The horizon should really be moved to place both shoes in sillhouette against the sky. Also, considering the location shoes like that are usually found, ie: up high on a telephone wire, the viewer is far too close to the subject. I guess you just weren't willing to part with an old pair of trainers, and went for the low shot for easy retrieval.

Another case of anthropomorphism which makes the shot seem (like the other examples) far too contrived and forced. If you had been making some comment about a lost shoe maybe or something this may have worked.
