I think conceptually this is the best in the challenge - and photographically it's very close too.
Great set up and really great thought went into this.
I understand being frustrated with the masses not seeing my vision - I've decided a check is better than a ribbon, and art directors and photo buyers giving defined "challenges" beats the vagueness here. I could go on, PM me if you really care. ;-)
But you ARE a great photographer, and ARE a great artist - the tantrum alone tells me about the artist part! :-) (having thrown a few myself).
So smile - yours is worthy of a gallery - something that I can't say for any of the front page IMO. |

I personally like this shot, the flowing lines and contrast are really attractive.
I think photos like this one, while scoring low on conservative DPC, whould be much appreciated on deviantart.com, which, as the name implies, deals with art that "deviates" from regular rules. |

Get over it. As I commented before you will get penalized here for not having a sharp picture. You can always enter with the attitude that the score doesn't matter as long as you are personally satisfied with the picture. But if you want a top score, you have to appeal to the masses.
Note also that if it were up to the commenters on your picture you would have gotten 1st place (7.056), so don't go blaming us!

| Wonderful concept and well executed. I tried something in this vien in the Shoes challenge, but achieved nothing near as lyrical and sublime as this. I can say that I feel the boot is almost too dark, and that some of the detail is lost. I don't think that that is overpowering, however. Good luck. |

| nice setup & color cast unfortunately seems out of foucus just a bit. If you were going for the soft focus I think it went a bit too far. A PS tip or two- select the highlights (ctrl + alt + ~) and make a seperate layer (ctrl + j) blur only that layer to retain the crisp shadows. or you could use your history brush to bring back sharpness in the details like the laces & such. Again- a great idea :0) (8) |

| Great idea but the focus is a little too soft for me. |

| A truly unique and imaginative approach to the challenge theme... works great. Perhaps the boot is a little lost in the background for me, a little dodge and burn would have helped I think... but otherwise one of the top entries... well done. |

| A great choice for this challenge. I really like the black and white and its cool how they seem suspended in mid-air. The focus seems a little soft, but i still like it. |

| great idea and processing. At first, I had some trouble with his top lace from a composition standpoint, but the more i study the more i like what you've done. |

| Love the tonal range (not too hard, but you still have great highlights and shadows), love the concept, and the emotion. Despite the shoes being inanimate, you have really given them a sense of individual personality. |

| Very original...great idea and awesome picture..like the tones and the way the ribbon wraps her arms around the beast. |

| I can only guess this isn't sharp intentionally, but soft images tend to be penalized in these contests. |

| Lovely!!! Right on topic, charming arrangement with the laces and ribbons (how did you do that?). The color treatment and vignetting works very well. 8 |
