I like how the feet take the place of the fourth dot we're expecting to see. It is rich with metaphorical possibility. This is a jokey sort of Minimalism, but Minimalism nonetheless. I could almost call Minimalism a "feeling," the feeling of meditative emptiness... being freed of meaning.

I'd like it better without the three black spots.

My eyes are drawn to the spots on the carpet more than the main subject. I like the concept.

good idea and composition. I find the 3 black spots very distracting and the unevenness of the flooring texture also reduces the impact of the shot

Wonderful. Self shot?

This made me giggle. While I'm not fond of giggling, I really like the image! :) I'd have cloned out the three detracting black spots since this is Advanced editing... but that's just me. (not voting)

A very strong image, but I'm distracted by the three black dots. I'm sure they were intentional, but I don't see what they have to do to an image called Sandal Toes.
