Something blue...

Greetings from the Critique Club: Something Old Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue...I appreciate the scene you set for this image. Using the blue netting to carry out the theme is very successful, it adds texture and just the right amount of color. The focus is crisp but the silver underlay that catches light in hotspots gets overpowering in the upper right corner. Perhaps that could have been pulled back and softened a bit. The composition overall is quite graceful and the hard lines of the shoe balance the softness of the roses. This composition also raises a question, however, and that is what is the mood or emotion that you wish to express? Is this a happy memory or a sad reminder, or is the shoe a different statement altogether? While I want an image to raise questions I would appreciate a bit more emotional direction, a little more clarity and intensity. Very interesting image and worth taking time to view.

Great idea and compsotion, amazing swirls. I am very interested in how you did this. Like the colors.
The only dislike is the background.

Good job. My dad used to do that. Only nit is the black at the bottom.

this is a great shot, but would look better with a solid background, it is distracting.

Would have been way cool against pure black... Very neet though.

Wow! How did you do that? If only the background were a) consistent and b) dark, like the little area at the bottom - I think this would be a real stunner.
