 This good photo has all the makings of a great photo, but stops a little short.  Technically it's wonderful.  sharp details, rich colours, lots of depth.
 
 As an abstract/macro, I think a slightly tighter crop would work a little better.  the background elements make me look for more context that isn't really available.  As a 'shoe' shot, a slightly wider crop would give me the context I need to place them in their environment.
 
 I love the diagonals, and I love the contrast.  Overall a solid entry.

 ps as a sidebar to your processing notes...why use levels AND curves (since both do the same thing).  obviously not a criticism...I'm just interested. |

		| Nice patterns created by closing in tight and going for a diagonal. Great colours too. |
