A very important element which takes care of our feet, and the same caring i wanted to show as if somebody is holding a baby in hand.

Greetings from the Critique Club:

Overall, this well thought out image is very successful. The lighting is good, accentuating the shoe that is the center of interest but still delineating the mate to the pair in the background.

Composition: You've used the classic Triangle with a slightly stronger leading line from the left taking the viewer to the center of interest. This works well. You keep the viewer in the picture by providing interest in the workman's hands cradling the shoe.

The small scar/blemish on the workman's arm to the right of the image could be considered distracting, but in this instance, it's just part of the story. (and you could do nothing about it anyway.)

Color vs. Black and White. This is a powerful image in black and white. In this case, I think color would be a distraction and would provide more information than needed to tell the simple story.

All in all, a sensitive image that fulfills the Challenge well.

Good, solid black & white photo. Sharp detail. I like the line of the model's right hand drawing the eye down along to the line of the shoe - kudos!

This is interesting. I love the detailing of the hands. The use of black and white is perfect to showcase all of the texture in the shoe and hands. Upon 2nd review, I'm upping my score.

Interesting feel to it, the other shoe in the background is somewhat distracting, it draws a bit away from the main image

Very nice composition! I like your hand model and the shoe looks like it may have been hand made. I wonder what it would look like in color. 9

Great pose, lighting on the forefront shoe. The background shoe was a nice idea, but I thing the pic would've done better w/o.

Nice lines, keeps bringing my eyes back to the shoe, but I want to look at the great detail on the hand some more. Took a few seconds to notice the other half of the pair in the back. I like it.
