Greetings from the Critique Club!
The initial thing that catches the eye is the blurry focus. There is an overabundance of shoes lay out like a starburst. The combination of the two is not a winning recipe. You need a clear shot as well as an interesting placement in order for several items in a shot to be interesting to the eye. What if you had them tumbling down a solid incline? What if you had one of the boots in a funning setting, paying homage to it's "kingliness?" Sitting in front of a door on carpet, it just has the appearance of quick slipshod snapshot taken in haste without alot of forethought. Once you get that basic shot, then the rest is working with curves, contrast and color, depending on whether you are using full color or black and white (or sepia, etc)to tweak all of the nuances of the photo. But it all starts with the basic image. The rest is just the difference between a good shot and a GREAT one.
As a member of DPC, you'll learn from comments such as these as well as viewing others' work. I still find it inspiring and strive for a better photograph every time! All the best, Judy

For future referance, your white balance is off in this photo. On your camra white balance will be marked as WB on a button or menu option. For house lights it needs to be set to tungsten to disaperate this yellow tinge.
As a static image, the focus should have been sharper.
Also be aware of your background. If you had moved the shoes over just a little the image would have been spared that dark distracting crack leading into the wardrobe. |
