I'm a perfectionist...but the truth is the photo isn't that far off from the original, I just like to tweak things, even if they are very slight. So even though it's a lot of steps, it wasn't that much editing done.

Yeah...set on a box in front of my front door with my mini tripod and shutter release cable. I taped white paper to the door and set a white paper on the box, and voila! An...almost studio?

I know this shot won't do well, but who knows...

I liek the shape but it feels like the shoe has lost a lot of details. Perhaps, a backlight silhouette would have worked better. Just my thoughts...

Almost too dark... Too much of the shoe falls into shadow.

I like the simplicity of the shoe and the ankle

Nice composition, striking profile - image seems too soft, sharper (detail to show sharpness) would be better.

There's a slight feel of imbalance in this shoe, like it's falling away from the viewer. Also, for a shot playing on lines rather than detail the rough edge of the sole in the front of the shoe is a bit distracting. But - nice background and good feel about the shot in general.
