Hello, and greetings from the Critique Club. Allow me rip your photo to shreds in the name of constructive criticism (j/k!)
Initial Thoughts
Wooo.. that's a heck of a thing, cool angle.
Composition / Content
Very interesting and unique perspective, I like to see people trying new things, and this is pretty effectively done. Personally, I would have tried to avoid cropping the toe out on the side there.
Background
The upper sky is really nice, but might have benefitted from a polarizer or ND Grad filter. The bottom right is a little blown out, which detracts just a little bit.
Camera Work / Technical
Seems to me to be a *slight* over-exposure in areas here, though whether that was in-camera, or done in post-processing, I don't know. Your focus and DOF are great, but I'm thinking 1/500 would have given you a better exposure than 1/300. There are some hot-spots on the shoe itself that could have been better dealt with with a stop or a half-stop drop.
Digital Processing
Not sure what you did, but everything looks pretty good besides the exposure and hot-spot issues. Nice coloration on the shoe and the sky is ok (slightly darker would have been my own preference). Sharpness is wonderful.
Fits the Challenge
Definitely does that :)
My Opinion of the Photo
It's a fantastic original perspective, something different for a rather mundane challenge. The hot spots and exposure just kick this a little too far into the "Very good, but not *great*" range for me.
A good entry, and good luck in future challenges. |

| Cool perspective, adidas in your face! The flow of the lines also looks natural, works out well. |

I think it's a great perspective and good idea!
The yellow/orange color of the sole does however distracts from the image IMHO. It looks like the white balance is off (the shoe might be that color but it's not a very appealing color to me at least... it might just be from a lot of clay tennis courts? :)
Nice depth of field by the way! |

| Good DOF capturing the logo, strong composition and good movement or action in the diagonal line. And the complementary colours add the finishing touch, excellent. I'd buy a pair, yo should get in touch with their advertising dept and show them this. 10 |

| Incredible. If this is not a composite shot then its worth a 10. Very very powerful. |
