 Many of you are going to say, "How is this beautiful?" But you would have to know Baltimore to understand. Its just one of those things. Pink Cowboy boots are perfectly in place here. You would not believe the shoes I got in 1 day of shoe watching at the inner harbor. As for how this relates to the challenge, shoes are beautiful. Especially when compared to the stinky smelly calloused things they might hold. Okay, so I'm weird. But I find beauty in people's choices and find Baltimore a city unafraid to choose what they like. Not even if its Pink Cowboy Boots.

Great discription of the photo. I think the pink boots is an excellent choice for the challenge. Your take - down on the ground level is really good. Bravo!

this is fantastic, good work! i know you couldn't help it, but the background is distracting on this photograph. the only thing that might have helped that is f/1.8...maybe a bit more. i look forward to seeing the exif for this one. good work, though! beautiful...

Fun use of color! The color highlights the contrasts between the two people nad there is a nice sense of movement with the man's ffet and the breeze in the skirt. Wish the edge of the skirt weren't cropped and there were a little more spce on the right to feel they are moving into.
