The first thing that came to mind when the subject was footwear; some guy laying on the ground in a pool of blood without shoes. Although I would have liked to have gone ahead with that idea, I decided to tone down the violence and anti up the action, so I got my dad to pretend he's stealing my shoes off my feet. Tried using some black make-up on my face, (a la cousin Joey), to give myself a battered look. Hopefully this will fare better than my last two entries.
As for the title, just a fancy way of saying "shoe theft."

Great composition and the body language of the models. Naturally, the image is a bit dark - the plot happens in a dark place. I would not have guessed that the big guy is stealing the shoes withoug reading your comments. That other idea of yours was very good, perhaps even better than this. It's a pity you had to compromise.

I see now, working on the computer at my school, just how dark monitors can be. I suppose others do not have as clear a monitor as I possess, and that probably led to some of the bad scoring I received. I guess I will have to amp up the brightness for next time.

Very underrated shot. The focus could be better, but the composition works well and the setup is really great.

Cool! you're one of the few who actually tells a story about shoes instead of taking a picture of random ones.

Powerful emotions playing on the faces - intense - makes me wonder if when that shoe flies free if I will get hit - nice composition, angles, lighting and focus. You are my pick!!!
