		| | What the h#$@? this photo is my second highest scored entry. And I really did not expect it. I did this photo in only 30 minutes in total. I just thought to submit something. not really paying too much attention like I did on other entries. I guess it is really hard to explain what people likes... 
 Anyway, I found majority of commentors were bothered by the little stone. lol. I am sorry for that. I will remove it next time. :D
 
 As for how to take this photo. It is rather easy. I have my boots ready, obviously. I put them on my white carpet in front of a white wall. Then put my camera on the floor too. then use the builtin meter to make white wall and carpet slight over exposed. In PS, I rotated it 26.8 degree (If I remembered correctly). Just regular post processing. I did played curve intensively though.
 
 Thanks again for your vote (high or low) and comments!

		| | Really fun shot. I like how the laces add to the sense of falling. The pebble was also a very nice touch. |

		| | The diagonal angle of this is interesting and fun. I like the use of negative space. |

		| | I like it. The border is fine with me, but that spot in front of the right shoe (while I am sure purposefully done) is distracting. You shot captured texture, mood and gives me the feeling there is an invisable person in those shoes.  Nice Job -- 7 -- |

		| | The diagonal angle has created a very dynamic image with a good balance in the frame. No other elements to distract from the main subjects. The light vs dark works well. 8 |

		| | This picture is technically really well done.  The only thing I see that is very distracting is that rock or something in front of the right boot.  It just keeps drawing my attention away from the boot. |

		| | Great contrast!  Love the angle and perspective!  Not sure on the rock (?) but a 10 none-the-less! |

		| | It's kind of a plain picture of hiking boots, but I like it. Simple but effective. |

 This shot is excellent! It is just what I wanted to do also, only I don't have the knowledge to do something this great. You'll have to tell me how you did it after the voting is over. This is awesome!

		| | Nice contrast.  Might have been a touch cleaner if shot on a hard surface - but a good photo nonetheless. |
