 Really need a studio to do this kind of shot

This was taken in natural light and overexposed and colour tinted in RawShooter Essentials to try and get that studio look.

Slight crop, slight boost to mid tones in curves

Submitted, unsubmitted, decided not to enter, re-fiddled, submitted....aww what the hell

Great suggestive shot. Don't listen to anyone who says the hair is distracting and shoud have been cropped out. It adds just t he right touch.

nice tones! I would perhaps have liked to see it with a "natural" backdrop - but well done!

i don't necesarily like the shoe choice.i think it would've been an excellent photograph if she was wearing high heels,like the really hot ones.everything else i love.8

The only improvement I think you could have done here is to get more hair in the photo, the bit that is showing seems a little distracting, but if it had been more and not as scraggly I think it would have added to the senuality of the photo. AAll details count. Still a very appealing shot with good color. 8

I would have cropped the head/hair completely out, somewhat distracting from the subject shoes, which are nice.

Great composition, leads the eye down to the splash of colour which is, rather satisfyingly, the subject ie: wedge shaped shoes. The fantastic legs on the model will bump the marks up no end as well i'll wager. ;)

think a bit more cropping would help a lot

Love the skin tones, the backdrop works very well in this picture. Personally I think a pair of stilletto heels would have worked a little better, and I'm not so sure about the bit of hair showing. I think I would have liked either a bit more hair in the frame or none at all. Overall quality is very good though. 8 from me.

Besides being a little to blurred , very nice photo.

cut out the hair and leave just the hands and feet, it would have been a better photo I think.

Nice placement and angle of the shoes.

Wow...this is just beautiful. A slight bit of movement/blur on her lower left arm, but otherwise right on target.

perfectly feminine... nice job

Like this shot, stands out from most in this challenge. Only thing I think that hurts is the hair. It's out of focus and distracts from the focal point.

Very nice! Great colour choice, goes really well with that skin tone...

Great shoes! Color and composition are very good. High marks!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice lighting and composition. I think I would like it better though if either the hair is out of the frame or her whole head was in it, as it is it just draws my eye away from the shoes. 7 from me.

I like the hair coming down to help balance the shot. I think I'd like this in black and white as well.
