Decided if I want to improve I gotta do this so...this is my first challenge. Ready to get beat up. Had it set on auto ISO which made it 1600, therefore,I had to brighten the image. Better effect would have been 400. Decreased the contrast to give it a softer look. Did a little with levels but that is it.

Thanks for the comments. I thought that toning down the contrast gave the dress shoes a duller, more lonely feel. From the comments... that was the wrong thing to do. If I had been allowed to take just the Keds and add contrast to them alone I would have to make them pop but this was basic editing. Is there a way to do that either in basic editing or in taking the photo that I could have done to create that effect? A trick with with lighting? Open for suggestions and critique.

Interesting setup, I personally would of like to have seen a little more of the Florsheims in the image, but that's just my opinion. 7

You don’t need to conform when you’re the most comfortable.

Wish the Keds poppes out a bit more, maybe a different focus would help.

Like the idea. Needs more contrast and, small detail but, you might want to tie all the laces.

The story's pretty good but the image could use some contrast or curves.
