 Photographer’s Notes
I had in mind using my wife’s steel spiked-heel garden-ornament-shoe from the beginning. Then I had to figure out how to make it more interesting and broaden the appeal. Maybe this works. Maybe it’ll get points for humor. Voters will decide.

I delayed shooting until the last minute. I then edited it using advanced editing, realized my error, and re-edited using basic editing. (I liked the advanced results better.) And then I submitted Tuesday evening.

Enjoy!

While this is neat the shoe is kinda difficult to pick out and the lighting seems to degrade toward the bottom of the subject making it murkey

I can't help liking this - the mix of colours makes me feel like I have hangover. Interesting shoe too, I want a pair:)

Simply beautiful. It really does look like more of a painting then it does a photograph. Very impressed, this is the sort of thing that I try to achieve with my own shots.

Tee hee. Cute title and funny photo. I like your choice of background and the lighting. I'm bumping it up a point after a second look.

Poorly chosen shoe for the old woman to live in. She'll never keep the rain off!

Wow this is a really cool picture. I haven't seen one like this yet. I actually like the color of your background! Nice job.
