CRITIQUE CLUB CRITIQUE
by karmat
Technically, I think this shot is pretty much right on. The exposure seems good as the details are visible in both the lights and darks. The background is clean without being overblown, and the bw with a splash (or stripe in this case) of pink is a nice touch.
Compositionally, the shoes look very "natural," as if you had just dropped them on the floor and that is how they landed. I think that is a good thing as it keeps it from looking too contrived. The placement in the left side of the frame is interesting, but i think it throws the whole feeling of the picture off balance. This may have been a neat shot to do with the shoes in the lower right and lots of white negative space around them. Regardless, I don't think placing them on the left side of the frame works well. It looks like the shoes are "walking" out of the frame.
It does indeed meet the challenge -- those are shoes, and cool ones at that. (In middle school I begged for a pair of orange/red/purple/green converse, but never got them. Now, I want a pair of pink ones!) This may have suffered because of the bizillion entries. I think the top pictures had a context that made them really stand out (no pun intended). While i like the clean white background, it may have been helpful to give the viewer a bit more context to form a story around, just to add interest.
Best to you in future challenges.

| The cropping probably takes away some of the impact that could be here |
