i tried to capture something that is an everyday sight in our house (thanks digidori for noticing). this was taken from the stairs going up to the second floor of our house that's why I tried to show the dining room partly. It was not a tabletop photo as some commented. the sign is really old and tatty. Its been there for 10 years worn out by the scriblings of my 4 kids (now 11,10 9 and 7 yrs old). thanks for seeing that Poetryincolor.

Didn't use black and white and intentioned that socks and shoes be as it is. I want to show the pink colors and the carefreeness of my little ones.

btw, although we are in the tropics, the wooden floors upstairs are sometimes cold. we have special slippers for the bedrooms.

thanks for all your comments. it was fun reading them esp if you know where i'm coming from.

it was shot on the stairs going up the second floor. my kids just leave their shoes before going up.

Looks too much like a snapshot I'm afraid. the sign is old and tatty, and it would have been better to use a new one. the composition and cropping is poor taking attention away from the shoes and making the socks jostle for more attention than they should, and letting the viewers eyes wander without any resolution. And the kitchen details in the top right serve no purpose.

While the lighting and colors are good, I think the sign is a bit distracting because of the splotches of blue and the little scribbles. (The sign does fit in the picture though) But this is a good picture, creative idea too.
