These are my dad’s feet. My brother’s feet are bigger and better but he was too superstitious to play dead ;). This is my stab at something original for this challenge I was originally going for a calm lake or something along those lines but then thought too many people will have that same idea. Maybe this is a little too morbid?

indeed! Appropriate title and the shot fits the challenge nicely.

I only wonder one thing - and it might be a bit on the picky side - but wouldnt a corpses feet be a bit less colorful?

Black and white would really go well here, or use a saturation adjustment layer to reduce the overall color. I think that is allowed in basic if I am not mistaken.

Great idea - think it would be more effective if you put some white powder or pancake makeup on the feet - they look awfully pink and 'alive'! I do think you did a good job with this, though. 7.

The toe calluses just scared me a bit. The photograph itself is fantastic.

Creepy. Fits the challenge without question though!

terrific -- thought there would be lots of these, but this is the first I've seen! Those toes are awfully pink and healthy looking though -- a little pancake makeup or even some flour would've made them look more "dead" :)

Nice technically but no real wow factor.

Very creative

I was going to give you a 10 but I will take away 1 for the smelly look of the feet, and 1 for the reddish hue of the skin which should be yellowish instead. (8)

I think you should have desaturated a bit or put some makeup on the feet or something, because they look... well... too alive.

Maybe the reds should have been destaurated a little to make the feet look look more like dead feet?

Clever shot-too bad the feet weren't a little less vibrant, more like really dead (ie white) maybe setting them in a pail of ice water or standing in snow for a spell before shooting would have helped produce the desired effect? I like the foreground too

Unless its carbon monoxide poisoning, the skin is too pink for death. Otherwise great pic.
