Greetings from the Critique Club, Ashutosh!

I really enjoy this image of yours.

It's fresh, and exciting... and fun.

Having been here a bit, I think I know why it didn't score as well as I think it should have... Voters here don't like dolls and replicas of any sort in images.

I don't agree. I like to see images such as what you've done here... telling a story with an image... with characters.

The colors are fun and the crop is fun.

Perhaps... to meet the challenge perfectly, you might have cropped the image even more closely to get a higher score. *sigh*

The depth of field blurring the piece in front is very distracting. Could have kept tight corp, and maybe used focus stacking to make it more interesting.

*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An original and creative image that fully meets the challenge.

What an amazing pair of shoes, as you say, fit for a princess! I've often thought light and glass were made for each other, there is always potential within them for a good photography and here you have found it with your candle light and your own light painting, you have managed to light so many facets in interesting ways, well done.

I like the black background but like your commenter without knowing otherwise it is natural to perceive this as a reflection. This is where I think you had even more potential, it would have been nice to see the pair together reflected in the black glass of a table. As it is you still have a great image with a good well controlled exposure, very appealing. I think it deserved a higher place, I can only assume there was some amazing entries.

Thanks for an interesting submission, Sid

HA! I almost shot something similar. Vitamin E oil capsules in a form of a fish. We were almost out of VitE pills at home (only 4 in the bottle) and i was too lazy to go to the pharmacy.

The bright white highlights are distracting to me.
