 Mini clogs from a key ring bought in Holand as a souvenir.

Only processing was to increase clarity and vibrance in RAW. Then resize.

Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club

Initial thoughts: This is a fun and colourful take on the challenge and meets the challenge title.

Composition: I like the placing of the in focus clog on the rule of thirds lines and the general composition is very nice.

Lighting/Colour (recently calibrated monitor). The colours look nice though the grass is a little dark especially with the lovely light background. The lighting on the clogs is very nice

Focus/Depth of field I think the focus and DOF is spot on, if both the clogs were in full focus the image wouldn't be a good imho. An excellent smooth blurry backgound.

Overall thoughts A fun shot and overall a good entry though I feel the image might have looked cleaner without the foreground flowers. Being in my 'minimilistic' period right now I'd have sat staring at just the background and oof flowers for longer than this image but then it would not meet the challenge lol.

Good luck for future challenges Angela.

Very interesting shot! I like the colors and depth of field. The placement of the shoes also fills the frame very nicely. I feel like the whole top third of the frame is unnecessary. It just seems empty with all the green/yellow space. I would crop it down a bit and see how that works.
