This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:

composition: The shoes are a little too far to each side of the frame. either more space on the sides, or less space in between would have created a better composition.

color: the colors are very vivid and alive, very good job at controlling them so they arent too overbearing

contrast: good contrast as well, nothing is too rough or too soft

focus: As i stated before, more concentration on the composition would help significantly the focus of the photo.

depth of field:love the use of the wide aperture, throwing almost all of the background into bokeh, great idea

lighting: the lighting seems to be the curse and the savior of this image. the lighting is beautiful, but it is also blown out in the middle of the image, distraction the viewer from the shoes. which is the main focus of the image.

other: an overall interesting idea, but a little more preperation and thought would have put this image over the edge more and produced a better outcome. I hope to see more of your work here on DPC. If you have any more questions you are more than welcome to PM me.

Nice idea, shame about the blown highlights in the middle. They are a bit distracting.

The range in light makes for a little distraction here and maybe to many subjects to focus on. I like the outdoor setting but softer light will def help here

parts of your photo are blown out (too bright), like the grass in the middle
