Challenge: Shoes (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Location: Dartmoor, Devon, UK
Date: Aug 29, 2005
Aperture: F1.8
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/2000
Date Uploaded: Aug 29, 2005

Taken at a small stream on Dartmoor this afternoon. Asked my wife to get her boots off and go for a paddle. I deliberately used a fast aperture in an attempt to get nice sharp boots and a knocked out figure.

This is my first submission here so all comments are appreciated.

heh... wouldn't one want to hang onto one's shoes while crossing the river?

Erm... excuse me miss, but you've forgotten your boots! Good composition, and very effective use of DOF. Even the pose with the skirt is well done and gives us all the information we need to see whats happening in the background. If only you had called it 'Paddling' or something.

Beautiful colors and crop... perhaps the background is a bit too out of focus for me but well done... :)

Its not mixing right to me... Decent effort!

like the dof, the one little bad is the weed that is in front of the boot is still visible, even with the blurring, otherwise great

Nicely composed. Greenery in lower right is a little distracting.

Interesting picture. The focus on the boots are pretty good, and the colors are really nice. I like your idea too, and the lighting is also good. I think you did a nice job.

I love this photo. I think it's neat how the shoes are in foces, but the background is not. It really draws me in.

u can't really see the river but i like the use of dof

Well done with this one, you have tried something a little different to most of the 'study' type images I have seen so far. 7/10
