The hairy legs make this a little disturbing, but creative idea.

Would it be politically incorrect to say those are some hairy legs for ballet shoes?! :-D

I like the bg choice as the diagonal lines in the brick work well. The white point could be a bit closer to true white IMO. Good luck.

Remarks: Probably not the most topical of entries but one that taps quite a range of emotions from the very light (the masculine legs in satin and gauze) to the profound (the tumbled positioning, the tattered mess of of shoes, the balance of effort/exhaustion and the back-stage view this image affords us. The photo, in my view, thrives in its positioning between the genres, abstracting an emotional ambiance rather than fitting any categorical expectations one may bring to this challenge.
