The idea was strong, the set up was strong, and then it was deadline time you took an out of focus picture. Bad you! ;-P

Still not a bad score! :)

I would recognise these shoes anywhere lol Although the spelling of "mum" gave it away.

I would like to see a different version of this, cuz its not your best work. Its very grainy. Its a cool idea though :)

Even if its last minute, learn from it. :)

i spent way to much time waiting for glue to dry and ran out of time for taking a decent photo. I do not deserve the kind comments i recieved because the exicution was crappy at best.
If i had spent a little less time procrastinating and started this a couple of hours earlier, it could have been a shoe in (boom boom) for a ribbon., Needless to say, i wont learn a thing and will continue to shoot myself in the foot by waiting until the last minute haha.

Original concept. The overall shot is less sharp than I would expect; however, I can see you spent time setting this up. Good luck in the challenge.

A very nice concept of juggling lif'e affairs. Now, while the idea is great the execution just lacks the final touch with the lighting and focus. However, do not be too discouraged as lighting and focus can be easily learned but the creative mind is either present or not. You are creative and you have a nice eye. When doing these images the secret is to take the shot as you desire and then go into lighting and focus variations as well as different angles. Now you wind up with maybe 15 or 25 takes. Bumping up on great concept.

Cool idea - lacks sharpness and there looks like some jpeg artifacts have crept in. Lighting is nice, but the shadow from the shoe heel distracts.

I loved this one! It is fun and SO insightful, and very striking visually. It is not children pretending to be adults or adult toys or the usual adult woes. Really refreshing.

Could have been a ribbon winner in my mind if the focus and lighting were superior. It seems like the focus is slightly off (see phone) and the color of the laundry dispenser is garish. Still I gave it a 7 and that's pretty good in this challenge.

Great idea. Needs a little more light on the lipstick to balance the image out. Good Luck

mesmeraj? I seem to recognize those shoes! Great idea and well executed. the image quality in all seems a bit grainy, or it might just be my computer. Either way, good luck.
