Greetings from the Critique Club!

This is a wonderful studio shot. Well lit, composition is well done, color is there. So why didn't it do better? Good question! I'm guessing simply because while it's a beautiful technically well done shot, there is nothing that really stands out and yells, "LOOK AT ME!" The color certainly grabs my attention but that is about all that holds my attention. I agree with the one comment about cloning out the lettering inside the shoe, it is a bit distracting and pulls your attention away from the beautiful shoe itself.

Also, maybe just a slightly different set up could really bring this shot out, take the back shoe, set it upright and put the front shoe inside so it's taller and really stands out, arrange them so you have a V shape or something to that effect, the toe of the shoe on the left bringing you in, following the line all the way to the heel of the other other, to the top of the other shoe and then follow that same line out the other side. Just a thought that crossed my mind.

Again, great shot overall. Good luck in future challenges!
