SNEAKERS.

I like the overall composition. I only see one foot which looks odd and somewhat unnatural. I'd like to see both of the feet in a more natural pose. There is a drab quality, overall that makes me wonder if this would be better in b&w.

A bit too shiny with several hot-spots from what looks like direct flash. The colors (I'm seeing puce and chartreuse on my monitor) are really horrible together, making this an overall unpleasant viewing experience. Sorry, this just looks awful to me.

I like the overall quality of this shot. I'm not sure if centering the subject was the best choice, although I like the angle of the boot. I'm wondering if it wouldn't be more dynamic if the boot were placed in one of the lower corners of the frame?

Docked Dockers
by genxm5

Comment:
Based on the title and the fact that there is a dock (although I wouldn't have noticed it from this overexposed view without coaching from the title) I will assume some thought went into the composition. Still, it isn't a particulalry well-thought out composition,IMO. This placement of the shoes in conjuction with the background doesn't create a dynamic composition, in my view, and the shoes just aren't enough of a focal point to capture my interest. There are issues with the size of this image, as well. It is difficult to evaluate the image quality from this size. You'll here it more than once, but it is really worthwhile to use the optimum image size of 640.

Which to shoes?

I don't quite understand the title. I like this because of the blurred figure, the warm quality of the light and the area of bright color in contrast to the overall neutral tones. This isn't the kind of thing that tends to do well in the voting, however. It appeals to me, though.

Here's another great shot I missed during the voting. Great POV and I love the way the the background disappears into the fog.

Wow! I wish I saw this during the voting. This is beautiful. I love this type of shot. I just entered something with a similar type of viewpoint in the Comfort challenge so it was cool to come across this so soon after. I like the grain and the slightly blown-out areas on the sink give this a natural appearance.

Things that go BUMP in the night...

I'm only seeing one of the items here. I'm guessing you used peanut butter as glue for the feathers but it just isn't clear by this image, therefore, the peanut butter (or maybe jello?) isn't an integral part of the composition--It would seem to be playing a 'behind-the-scenes' technical role. Maybe if you had used color?

Another attempt to get around using two of the objects in a creative way. I'm not buying it. The point of this challenge seems to be to flex your creative muscle by using two seemingly unlrelated objects to compose a great photo.
How did you challenge yourself creatively by taking a photo of two bicycles?

Ordinarily, I would say these two bikes have good picture possibilities. This rather straight-on, literal recording of the scene doesn't seem to have explored that potential very thouroughly, however. This photo doesn't look as if much thought went into composing it beyond 'see it, snap-it, move on'. This impression, combined with the photographer's apparent unwillingess to challenge him/herself by adhering to the spirit of the challenge, makes me feel like this photo doesn't merit much, even outside the challenge.

Hey! You Got Your Lime In My Peanut Butter

Bleah...another pb & lime jello combo. My poor stomach. This is a nice simple composition but the objects just aren't presented in an appealing way. The colors are just unpleasant and there is nothing to relieve the viewer's eye. I think a different color background, maybe a rich red would have added much needed visual dynamic range and made the browns and swampy green warm neutral accents.
