 09/04/2005 11:51:48 PM

Kewl shot! perfect lighting!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

What a great way to show something invisible. I like how the right shoe is pointing to the corner of the picture, rather than just having both shoes pointing straight at the camera. Maybe if the green lines looked more like they are spreading out from the shoes it would be a little better.

Creative shot! 10

Hahahahahaha, brillant. Excellent dark shot picking out just enough detail in the boots, and I love the idea and execution of the long exposure odour trails. Well balced and effective composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/02/2005 07:25:25 PM
Refreshingly creative. A tad dark in the detail on the shoes, but nicely set off by the bright laserlight.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/02/2005 02:47:20 PM
Yeah timberlands have a tendency to do that. Mine does that too, it really sucks. Unless you capture it in a picture! Awfully creative I must say, one of the best in the challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/02/2005 12:20:46 PM
woooow, i think, it is one of the best, in this challenge
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/02/2005 11:48:48 AM
This is a fun idea and you pulled it off well. The only thing I have a problem with is the darkness of the boots. They seemed to need a little more light. 9

nicely done, nice editing, overall COOL !! LOL
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/01/2005 09:35:22 PM
Cool! What a clever idea and execution. Lighting this couldn't have been easy given the timed exposure neede to pull it off. It's nearly perfect, but not quite as the on camera flash just doesn't quite make use of the drama that is available here - 8

Wow I like the crazy green light!! This is so rad! I like how on the shoe laces there's some green too! Wow... Great job! Good luck! 10

good idea, well excuited with the green lights - i would have liked just a smidge more illumination in the front, so the rubber soles were not lost to the backdrop.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/01/2005 12:25:41 AM
I like your idea but the odor seems a little too fake for my liking.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/31/2005 11:40:13 PM
Funny picture. Seen something like this, but it's different. The colors are good, but I wish I could see the shoes more clearly. They kind of blend into the background. Good job though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/31/2005 06:06:32 PM
Awesome job!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/31/2005 04:21:54 PM
Nice, love the green lightpainting, the boots don´t seem to be completely in focus though or this shot needs some sharpening, it´s hard to tell though as they are a little bit too dark for my taste. Anyway, nice shot, one of the more original in the challenge, I gave it an 7.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/31/2005 12:51:53 PM
very curious how you did this;
shoes and background dark - a little bit too dark for my taste;
I like the picture

How cool! Amazing how special effects like this make even a pair of shoes stand out and look incredible!!! Fantastic job!!!! 10
