::: Greetings from Critique Club :::
Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.
First Impression - the most important one:
I initially find this image as underexposed, which in voting would tend to sway my vote low without much other consideration.
Composition:
To be perfectly honest, I find the composition and choice of crop boring. Perhaps a less square crop would have brougnt more interest or moving the legs more to one side of the crop.
Subject:
Subject is clear, it is easy to tell what you were trying to show.
Technical (Colour, focus, and light):
This is what got ya.
Focus: On closer inspection, the image appears to be well focus, but the overall underexposure gives the initial impression that it is softly focused.
Colour: Once again, exposure hurt you on this. What woudld have been vibrant shoes, just went dull.
Light: The source of what went wrong here. I undertand completely that dark skin is hard to expose for. Quite hard indeed. In this case, you should meter from a grey card and then bracket the shot. Other qualities of the light here is that it is quite flat.
To grow its vote?:
Pay more attention to metering of light. Technicals are the first and foremost aspect to work on.
Summary:
You seem to have the creative mind to do well. Work on the technicals some and you'll be on your way to some truly great photos.
Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy |

| Nice use of color and the composition is good, but it seems a bit dark and a smigde out of focus. |

| I like the framing and composition of this shot. IMHO it looks a little underexposed and lacks contrast in the shoes (which are the main focal point). Perhaps adjusting exposure compensation in the RAW stage or levels in p-shop may help with this? Just my opinion, nice shot nonetheless |

| This is the photo that could have been. More light would have really brought out those shoes, and against a white background really given the POP that makes for a great burst of color. |

| Good concept... I love the shoes! If the image was brighter and had better composition, it could have been better. Good work overall. |

| A nice take on the challenge. I like the fact that you brougt the crop right up to the shoe. Nice color and tone. Focus seems a little soft. |

| Oh this is great. Very sexy. I wish the light were just a tad brighter, but the shine on those satin shoes really is nice!! Good idea and it certainly follows the directive of the challenge to a t! 9 |
