Concept is okay, but shoe in background is too contemporary to be plausible for Hansel & Gretel.

Great texture in the leaves. This would have really rocked me if the shoes where brown boots or something along those lines that fit the historical aspect of this tale a little better. Other than those sneakers this perspective with the crumb being the main focus is a really great take on this challenge.

I love the bread crumb and leaf background. While I know the shoes are there intentionally, I would love to either see more of them or none of them. To me they serve to distract more than they serve to add. However ass the main focus is the bread, I think you did a tremendous job with that. Very crisp shot.

Beautiful DoF and I really like the composition, my niggle is that the white shoes don't quite gel with the earthiness of the rest of the image. Apart from that it's lovely.

Nice subtle interpretation.

I like the DoF, but I think pointing the camera up more to get more of the scene may have helped. just my opinion.

Love the understated nature of this shot. Subtle and clever with super sharpness on the bread and leaves. Not too sure about the trainers in the background, maybe just another peice of bokeh bread would have been better

Still excellent as it is
