I would have prefered the spoon farther in the background, maybe against the plate instead of the bottle. nice

Comment by amsmyth:
certainly these make me think of grace, and grace with hard work and even pain, there is some grace in the composition, focus good, light good 8

Comment by dsidwell:
The simple idea that ballet shoes can be graceful is good, and it also evokes thoughts of ballet itself--the most graceful of dances, many would say. The light here seems a little harsh, taking away from the grace of the shoes and your communication. With harsh light comes harsh shadows and an unnatural feel. You might try just going outside on a bright day and shooting these objects in the shade. I like your white background, so go ahead and bring a white background. I shoot most of my images on my porch. Anyway, nice composition with the shoes on a strong node in the lower left, and again, I really enjoy the simplicity of this shot.

I love this shot and gave it a 10. I like the crisp white background and the simplicity of the image overall. I also like how the shoes are off-centered. The ballet shoes fit the theme so nicely because ballet is so graceful. Super job.

i feel the stark background and harsh lighting really takes away from the idea of grace. would have been more effective with softer lighting and a more natural background.

It's great how the shadow appears as a single foot. Also love how worn the shoes look.
