Well, I knew the glare was a bit much on the top left, but I took a chance. :-D
As alluded to, it was taken for a bridal shower (poolside) so the top left was glared for the wording, etc. Thanks for all your great comments.

IMO a little too bright, but points for creativity!!

Great idea for the shot. I am not sure I like the blown out highlights covering most of the left side of the shot though. I think the composition is good, and the flowers chosen are quite intersting. The little bit of green in the top right is a little distracting, and I think the shot would be improved a little if it weren't there.

Very nice idea, I like it. I think the light is a bit harsh, I'm not sure, but I think the same picture with softer light would work better. I also think that for the image to be picture perfect it might be good to clone out the words inside the shoe, and maybe use something other than a towel like material for background. I do like the pink flowers on greyish shoes though.

I think the overall picture is too bright and you are losing color from the flowers in the brightness. Very interesting shot though, might have to add it to my wedding shot idea list.

Lovely arrangement...the blowouts on the left bother me though.

A bit overexposed as well.

The area on the top left is blown out and distracting, but you have nice sharp focus and detail on the rest of the picture.

too hot in the upper left corner

Great idea, but I'm a bit bothered by the fact that the focus--and light--are significantly better onthe shoes than on the flowers, which are supposed to be the subject of the challenge.

a little distracting as far as brightness goes and would have covered the writing in the shoe more, but i really like the composition.
