I held the chair upside down while my wife hit the button. One small shop light on the wall, one on the chair.

This one is in honor of karmat and her wonderfully creative image:
It was the first thing I thought of when I saw the challenge announced!

Composition:This is great. I love the idea and the execution of the image. I like how you have put it off centre...but am getting lost in the vacant space on the right. Maybe if you could have put a bookshelf or something there upside down...so when you flipped it, it would have looked even more convincing and also fill up the space.
Technical: You have the settings, lighting and focus right...but I would like to see some Shadow/Highlight used to bring out some of the shoe details and show some richness in the wood. I feel the green is very off putting and would like to see that changed to a different hue.
Overall:I think this is a fantastic effort....and with a little more detail concentration you can really pull off a winner with it next time.
wow!!! you better take this down before newbalance themselves steal this idea from you...AMAZING!!!!!!! maybe even propose this idea to them...royalties possibility..
Not a nike air is it :) ( am I the 10th person to make that lame joke?) Nice Idea, I like the vengetting I think you could use more lighting on the chair as it look like you have lost a bit of detail there. Good Luck
