Greetings from the Critique Club.

Overall, this shoe doesn't hold a whole lot of merit as it is blurred and the lighting is extremely low, which adds to the dim view and graininess of the shot. It has the sense of just taking a quick photo, instead of spending some time on it to really make a creative image. The shoes would work well against a solid background with either natural light or a single bright light source (not a lamp as it tends to yellow it too much). Maybe think out the shot and place them in a natural setting so that they don't look set up, yet do it so the viewer has a really appealing image to gaze upon.

As you gain experience and learn from viewing others' work, you will gain the confidence and insight to improve your skills in the future. Best of luck.

I think this benefit from a sharper focus and more interesting lighting.

Poor lighting, check your WB. Nothing is in focus. Just looks like your camera fell by the shoes and took the shot accidentally.

I can't find the focal point of this picture. It just looks like a shot of your closet. No thoughtful composition.

Out of focus and very dark. Also the white balance is off showing too much yellow.orange tint.

This is really bad. Terrible title for a terrible out of focus photograph. If I could score it a 0 I would - 1

Fuzzy detail and the color looks like it was in bad lighting or a filter was applied

You need to adjust the white balance on your camera - the corrosponding menu item or button will say WB on it. You camera needed to be set to tungsten light.
T^his image is out of focus and lacks strong composition.

Poor focus gives lack of differentiation between objects in the photo

I don't really like the lighting. It's kind of too dark. I think the background is really distracting. That thing infront of the shoe.. Blocking the view of the toe part of the shoe kind of distracts it also. Good luck.
