Looks like someone already slipped into something more comfortable. The repeating diagonal lacing with bright eyelets takes the center of the picture almost into the realm of abstract, which I like.

Nice idea, though I'd like to see the lace-up centred and maybe a bit closer.

Too bad you didn't have a model to fill it!

Lighting seems pretty dull here, as well as contrast. Maybe try a b&w conversion to help this one out along with a lot of contrast to make it pop more. Hope these comments helped, if you have any questions feel free to pm me.

This would benefit from a better layout of the candles, it seems like you just place them at random, maybe try lining up from tallest to shortest or vice versa. Different things like that can add a lot. Also a faster shutter speed could help. I'd like to see it a bit darker so that the flames aren't blown out. Just my advice. Interesting idea though.

I think this would benefit a lot from a shallower dof so that just the fence is in focus or just the city is in focus, and some work with the composition could help. Typically the "rule of thirds" is helpful to try and follow. Here the horizon is right in the middle of the photo which takes away from the shot. I think getting more sky and less flowers could help. Hope thats helpful.

The lighting is pretty harsh here and there isn't really a distinct area that my eye goes straight to. Still a nice shot though.

I like the cats, it could benefit from a better background, just because the background is pulling away from the cats face, nonetheless a cute shot.

Very nice idea - would have liked to see it on someone's back.
