 This was one of those "blessing in the skies" entry. I called a friend the night before this entry was due and told her about my "vision" for this entry.

"I can see a pair of red heels with a strap sticking out of a car window against the deep blue sky. What perfect contrast!" I then asked her to bring a pair of red shoes to work since she's been known to have many pairs. The following morning, the day the entry was due, she told me that she didn't really have anything that came close to what I was describing. However, one of our other co-workers just happened to be wearing heels similar to what I had just described the night before. The rest was history.

Thanks Joan for being a good sport and helping me out on this challenge.

If you'd used classic spike heel pumps (nice and new) and avoided the little green intrusion under the mirror/lamp over mirror, this would be PERFECT!

nice sharpness, interesting take on the topic, an all around neat shot; too bad this isn't an advanced rules challenge so you could have taken out that little bit of green and the street light that keep drawing my attention

Great color, great composition. Nice red shoes to boot. Why not bare legs? Still gets a 9 from me.

Good angle, good color, composition good. You brought attention to your subject and left out stuff that didn't need to be there. Good for you.

This has a whimsy to it and the red shoes against the blue sky is a good contrast. Upon 2nd review, I'm upping my score.

Seen another similar in content but I think this is better done. Clean lines, clean but vibrant colours, tight composition - all works really well.

Cute shoes! I like it.

Great Color. Love the red on the Blue background. Don't care for the mirror in the shot, but nothing much you could have done about that- so I don't really view it as a negative thing. Well done.

Shoes contrast well against the sky, though I think it would have worked better if you had composed it without so much of the car in shot.

My shots have been so bad, I'm begginning to question my qualifications to be voter...:-)....nonetheless, this photo strikes me...even the thumbnail. 9
