ugh, Im going to have nightmares

That's a really good question...if it were the "Headwear" Challenge.
But since it's "Footwear", I can think of a couple reasons why some images may relate to feet.

But I could be wrong.

:-)

:P
I meant ugly as in dirty uncut toenail ugly feet

I think feet can be very beautiful... but some of these photos are down right scary!

Maybe their white balance is off, er something.

I feel like the average entry in this challenge is a bit weaker than usual - maybe this will be a low-scoring challenge as the Shoes challenge was some months ago.

Yes! I don't know if there's any better way to learn. This is what it takes to improve.

Just when I was thinking I would survive this, I have dropped 2 1/2 tenths in the last couple of hours. Damn who's been voting on their lunch hour? Please if you are giving my footwear pic 3s, for the love of a "nice fitting pair of shoes", give me a comment that explains where I have gone horribly wrong this time.

Hey, my first entry, with no imagination, did just fine. This, my second, I DID use my imagination and it's bombing terribly!
I *thought* I was being obvious enough but evidently not... I guess I'm just used to living in a household where odd is normal and I forget that not everyone else does. Ah well, it's all a learning experience, right? :)

Oh man - I just got kicked in the teeth with someone scoring my entry a 1.
With no comment, no less!!! :-)

Hahahahahaha!!! :-)

If I REALLY cared, i'd say, "Please, let me know WHY my image is the worst thing that could have posssibly been entered into this challenge...it may help my in future challenges".
But I look at that score as just balancing out the 10 I got earlier.

Maybe it was a placeholder, and they'll get back to me later with their real score? :-)

Maybe they thought 1 was the Best, and 10 the Worst?

(Maybe they actually thought it was the worst thing that could have been entered for this Challenge)

That's so silly!

I'm beginning to think that the Brown will be the most coveted ribbon in this particular challenge...

Looks like quite a few good photogs are going that direction too ...

BTW, this brown is gonna look funny right next to my BLUE for 2 second ;-)

First ever Challenge and its all a bit new to me.
111 views and 81 votes, score 4.7654 its all new to me so I dont know where this will end up.
I enjoyed getting up and finding a subject, this is a challenge in its self.
Good or Bad its a learning experience which I am sure you all know only too well.

Good Luck every one !

I'm slowly rising lol. The comments are interesting. Usually I get comments that my stuff isn't in focus. This one I'm getting comments about dead feet and no story. Who said there had to be a story? lol

I dont think so, as a few beers later they were still where I put them.
They were in my Sisters Garage and I thought I had a good idea for a Photo.
