Thanks everyone for the good comments. I took this shot on a street in Adams Morgan without even knowing about the contest, I was just out playing around and happened on a store display and liked the shoe. That's why the wire basket is there. I should have taken more time to get the shoe better centered and more full-frame, I didn't do any cropping on the shot.

The stand/basket (whatever that is) is distracting, and the composition could be closer to the shoe perhaps, which might let you play about with a more abstract presentation of blocks of colour and shapes like your title suggests.

what is the wire basket for. It detracts from the shot adding too much, more simplisyic would have been nice

Perhaps a stand without an upper rail would have looked better. And also a little more room on the left/right crop.

Nice image, not sure about the yellow in contrast but good shot!

I find the basket holding the shoe a little distracting from a wonderful, soft background. Otherwise, good closeup.

I think that if you have a hero item like the shoe in shot, then it needs to be all within the depth of field

I don't think the wire basket adds anything to this photo. In fact it detracts. Shoe would have had more impact outside of the basket. The background color is nice and the shoe is really pretty though.

Nice shot. The only thing that I can see that might make it better would be more lighting to get rid of some of the shadows.

I like the shoe, the colors, I just don't really get the shoe being on the grille thing.

The shoe is pretty. But I wish you chose a different color background..

Needed better DoF. Good Pastle colors.7.

The crop IMHO is too tight.
