overexposed(?)

The focus seems to be on the rocks in the background instead of the shoes.

Hehe, cool idea! Too bad it's a tad overexposed, but love the idea/crossover. You had a great time, no? Good luck ;-)

Interesting photo idea. I wonder if something could be included in this set-up to make it a more complete story.

Cool pic!

If you couldn't take the time to square the horizon, I can't take the effort to give it more than 2

You have the focus on the mountain rather than the feet. Why does each person only have one leg? The composition in regards to what the image should have been about (the shoes) is very dull and muddled.

Interesting angle and background.

Cute pic. Nice color, great view. I'm not exactly sure the shoes match for a romantic hike, but that's just me talking. Good job.

the shoes dont match with the background...

Nice idea but there are two things that bug me a little about the image.

1: The blue cast that is over the whole image isn't very flattering, I would have liked it more with a warmer WB.

2: The whole ocean part isn't flattering at all. First of all the horizon is both tilted and distorted and secondly the whole area is severly overexposed with no detail so it doesn't do justice to this scene.

4 from me because of the reasons I said but had you corrected this, for example by taking this photo at another focal length to minimise the distortion of the horizon and then also taking it for example at another time of day or from another angle so you could have lit the shoe part of the image and the horizon the same I would have liked it a whole lot more.

Short version is that I like the idea behind this shot but not how it's executed so keep experimenting!

I know that the subject is shoes, but my eye first goes to the hills and the sky. Sorry...nice try!
