Original title: Left and Right, Land and Sea, Nature and Humanity
This was rightfully DQ'ed. I edited with advanced editing without thinking that it was an open challenge. It wasn't doing so highly anyways, so its not that big of a deal.

Your photo is good, but the title implies too much. This would have been just as if not more effective without the shoes. Simplfy, 8

I really like this picture but, to be honest, if I just saw it.. without the title.. I wouldn't even begin to think opposites. And that, of course, is just my personal opinion. It's very well carried out, and the clarity is really nice.

I like the motion of the water captured in the picture. It would maybe be prettier with more color

I like much: The sharpness - 3 opposites in one picture - The composition
I like less: The yellow brand ( a bit disturbing)
Score: 8

Good capture, pretty original and comic. Like the tine yellow spot.

Cool idea of triple opposition! Left & Right; water & land; humanity & nature. A fourth opposition appears in the laces of tied and untied. The composition moves from clarity to blurred & black to white, bottom to top. The water focus in the middle needed better focus. Apart from this though, a solid shot! Better title: Sneaker wave! May a sneaker wave hit the voting before it closes!

Nice composition. I would have liked a little faster shutter, the waves are a little blurry. The shoes are very finely photographed and this shot works well including the background if it were about the shoes only.
A 6.

This is a great photo, I don't feel it for the "opposites" challenge but I really really like the picture itself. Good work!

Nice quality photo but not sure how it fits opposites.

I think it would be better w/o the shoes. Land and Sea would be nice alone. Shot is technically good; everything appears in focus and the contrast, etc. is nice.

This is a great shot. The title really adds to this piece.

Another one (like me I might add) trying to squeeze opposition into the title rather than the image. Being in the same boat, it works for me this round :-)
As for the image it's very ok, but it looks a bit too staged and centered to be really good. B/w whas probably a good choice though. Did you try a lot longer shutter speed on this one, blurring the sea out?
