Greetings from the Critique Club
First, this was a hard challenge, in my opinion. I do like the idea - without reading the title but knowing the challenge, I'd have said that the "stupid" part might be paying $48 for whatever it was. But with the title, and your explanation, AND being a fellow female, I do get it. Unfortunately, it might not be so clear to the other half of the population (the male half), and they don't get to read the comments until the challenge is over.
As for the picture itself, you achieved excellent clarity on the tag itself, and I like the use of B&W - it's effective here. Good use of natural light as well. The finger on the left of the photo and the thumb look a bit out of place, though. Perhaps having a bit more of the hand in the shot, or less shallow depth of field to keep the finger and thumb a bit more in focus might alleviate the "out of placeness".
By the way, the close up of the shoe you entered in "Superstitions" is very well done - but I see that a lot of people "didn't get it" during the challenge. You will find that the better your shots "meet the challenge" the better they'll score. You have a very interesting perspective on things - keep shooting!
