Shoes [edited]

Feedback is always appreciated.

Interesting idea Mark. The 'slope' is a touch distracting.

Great idea - but I wished you had used red shoes with "stiletto" heels - same as the shoes in the B & W . Great idea though!

Thanks for the comments. Everything about this shot was pure serendipity.

David. The slope was a result of the angle of the shot. But you're right; it was distracting. I have used some PS magic to repair it as best I could. I should have done so on the originally posted version. I am getting sloppy in my advancing years.

Jan. You're right; stiletto heels would have been better. But this shot is exactly as I saw it; I did not think of it or set it up. Diana left two pairs of shoes on the bannister in front of the Mapplethorpe photo hanging on the wall. The shoes were red and positioned exactly as you see them here. The set-up was a gift I was lucky enough to find.

Regards...

wonderful image, Happy New Year , Mark , cheers Jana

This worked out very well, Mark. I like the contrast of the red shoes and b&w picture. Now that you have the idea, you can always reshoot at some future time with stilettos if you are so inclined.

Exquisite, artistic & eye catching, Mark!!! Best regards

Very nice, like the differense of b/W and color.Good composition

As always Mark, I am never disappointed when I visit. Beautiful! Hope your Holidays are filled with Joy and Peace and Everything Good!~Anita

Ah, shoes, you can't imagine the fascination they have for women, or maybe you know well considering this fine shot. I like the contrast in colors, in heels.

 

My best wishes for a Happy New Year, Mark.

Original composition & viewpoint. The red looks great & eye-catching against the monotone. I like it.

I also wish you Happy New Year & all the Best in 2007 & the years ahead.
