This shot was more of an accident. Lighting was set for more Ashley being more sitting on the chair. I had two strobes setup behind umbrellas on camera right, and i did have a DIY straw grid spot on camera left, but as you can see, none of it got to this part of the photo.

This photo was taken in RAW format. Post processing done in Adobe Lightroom, tweaked everything until i got to exactly what i wanted with just post RAW processing.

Nice idea and interesting angle.. good processing but that halo thing in the right hand is ruining it a little.

I like that the shoes are on someone, not just by themselves. I like the overall "feel" of the image.

the shoes off center adds to the picture. your eye is immediently draw to the left shoe as it is closest. the hands on the legs in the picture are a nice touch.

great shadowing, the dirt and dust really give it the "old ways" mood

Interesting take on the challenge, it will either hinder or help you. good clean shot, apart from the halo on his hand,

I like this shot, but I think it might have been better if the shoes were to fill the frame...crop off the empty space on the right (his left). Other than that...good job!
