| The forced perspective that accentuates the size difference between the boots and the bear is quite nice. The reflection on the shiny wall is a little distracting. |

| Nice idea, but the lighting (which looks like flash) really hurts. The subject is too close to the background, if you pull it out some it will help alleviate the harsh shadow. |

| The lighting on this could be improved. There is very little detail visible in the boots and the shadows don't work for this composition. There is some weird shiny white spot to the left of the boots that is very distracting. |

| The lighting in the top of the picture is good. The lighting on the boots is really awkward. I see lots of shine - but not much detail. The bacground reflections really distract from the overall sense of the picture. |

| Trying too hard. Lack of color plus forced arrangement makes for low interest |

| Bear is out of focus and boots are underexposed. |

| The lighting looks too harsh for this picture. The glare on the left part of the wall around the boots is distracting. The shadow and bright area of the wall on the lower right tries to pull your attention out of the frame. This looks to me like Sepia tones were used to try to make an dull picture more interesting, but I don't think it worked in this case. |

| Just my take, but between all of the different textures (vinyl, metal, fabric, plastic, cord, ribbon, felt, and two tones of wall) and lighting ambiguities, the image is too muddled to pull a good concept of "opposites" out of it. While I'm a fan of B&W, I think this one may have faired better in color. And taken from a slightly lower angle would have done very well in the "proportions" contest! |

| IMHO, this shot suffers from a few technical faults, the boots are almost so dark as to be recognizable--I can tell they're boots, and I'm guessing they're some sort of ski boot? Levels adjustment or some different lighting, perhaps from the side, might have remedied that. The shadow and reflection on the wall are distracting--you could have avoided this by moving the subject far enough away from the wall, and even used an F-Stop to give you a soft background taking advantage of low DOF. |

| If you're going to shoot something indoors, you may want to consider getting a reflector and doing something different with lighting. This one has a lot of contrasty shadows. |

| flash too bright to left of boot. light souce above and difuse would bring out more detail of boot buckles and laces. Eliminate shadow. |
