| As I review the critique, I apologize for mentioning Advanced Editing as this was not the case for the shoe challenge. I was thinking of the Dark and Light and just wasn't using my head. :~( |

Greetings from the Critique Club! :~)
Upon first view of this, I like it very much. The simplicity of an old timey shoe in the sand really works here. You don't think of the two necessarily going together, so it makes for a nice variance. The lighting lends a nice shadow on the sand. The overall composition is simple yet effective. Normally a subject placed dead center isn't as appealing as one with more negative space around it, BUT due to the long shadow to the left, I think it works just fine in this setting. The sand is a nice textural difference with its warm tones of it working as a distinct contrast to the deep dark suede of the shoe. Perhaps a tighter crop could have given more focus on the shoe itself. As you had advanced editing available for the Shoe challenge, it might've been fun to play and see what creative areas you could have worked on to even enhance it further. Overall in my opinion, I think it stands on its own as a nice shot. Best wishes, Judy |

| There's no effort to make the shoe seem lost that's evident. Placing the shoe under/behind a rock and dominating the focus and foreground, while someone fumbles about under blankets or something in the background would have been more effective |

| Shadow on the front of the shoe is too harsh. Would a different camera angle help this shoe appear more alone? |

| Not bad technically speaking but the composition could use some work IMHO, it's just too centered as it is. 5 from me. |
