the feet raher dominate the composition and are not really soft.

Original and interesting. I don't care for the processing though -- it's hard on the eyes and doesn't really add anything to the image.

I really like your subject and composition. The b&w really tops off the mood here.

This certainly stands out amongst the majority of other images in the challenge. It's a great subject! I like to contrast between a rather gritty image, with soft focus. Hope to see this on the front page.
