 lol this is such a stretch, i have semi given up hope that my shots will do well, so now ima just havin fun... which is alright i guess... lol

being in a family with about a hundred kids, i had the idea of taking all our shoes and hanging them in a tree and shooting a photo as if they were all fruits, the ones of all the shoes didnt work out so well, so i just started taking pictures of one fruit at a time... lol i guess i didnt havet to spend a half hour setting 50 pairs of shoes in a tree... : /

Actually kind of pretty. Love the light. Kinda hard to tell they are shoes though.

subject appears to be a bit overexposed, maybe a different angle or time of day would've helped.

Something about the positioning on the shoes takes a little away... Pretty good overall though.

The idea is great. The light above has swallowed all the details in the shoes. A little light from below would have made a world of difference.

Clever concept. The colors are nice too. A little different from other photos that are of shoes 'flying' or 'floating'. Very nice.

Cretative, but the shoes look really old and this picture is really oversaturated--the red on the leaves are unreal.

Technically a lovely shot. Vivid colours in the leaves, I like the way the sunlight catches the soles of the trainers. You could have lost the tree in the bottom right also. But however, the concept of a pair of shoes dangling from a tree is kind of bizarre though. If you were going to see shoes dangling fom anything you would expect them to be hanging from a telephone line.
