Hey All,
Missed the last round and getting a late start on this one--but how can I pass up shoes?!!!

Let me know what you think please--C&C appreciated.
Also does the title work?
AND in the first one is that considered a frame? Don't want to be DQ'd.

    I like the comp and lighting on #2. I like the title....it seems universally understood.

    When you come to a door... walk through it.
    If it's locked... find an open window.

    #2 for me, too. I like the vintage look and the evident wear on the shoes.

    #2 Here also. Might be the best offering and title for #41 I've seen yet. I really like it.

    odd man out, I really like #1, the house window in the BG helps in the story for me...

    (and I think that would be considered a frame, so fix it eh)

    I agree with Aaron on this one. I like #1 best. The window also really sets the stage for the shot. Processing needs a little punch. Either way I think you have a winner Liz, which makes me think I have to go back to the drawing board. eek7.gif

    Big fan of #1. Classic. #2 isn't bad. I just prefer composition in #1. It gets the job done without needing to lean so heavily on a vignette the way #2 does. A bit more punch in the processing is all #1 needs.

    Hi Aaron,
    Way to make things hard on me:)

    I like #1 myself but I so wish I had gotten more of the wires that really bugs me.

    If I can reshoot this I will try and get more of the wires.

    Thanks for your input.

    Thank you Tatiana--It may just stay at two if I can't reshoot.

    Halite,
    I agree I ilke #1 myself, just wish I had gotten more of the wires---
    THanks for commenting--I will try and edit #2 further and get rid of the vignette.

    On a side note, ANYONE KNOW IF AN LCD SCREEN ON A 42 INCH FLAT SCREEN TV CAN BE REPAIRED? Came home from work today and it appears my two year old threw something at it and now there is a starburst on it and lines all over the place.

    GRRRRRRRR!!!

    I was thinking the same thing about #2 when I first opened this thread. I pictured the building in the BG as an old school building that had seen many miles of the abuse put on those old Chuck's.

    I don't really think you can go wrong with either. thumb.gifthumb

    i like #2 because of the background. looks most like a cityscape to me, and that's where i associate shoes on wires. nice effect! is there any way to play with the perspective? selective color on the shoes?
    it would also be interesting if the sneakers were brand new!!

    I like #1 and #2....but if I had to choose one, I'm leaning towards #1, for the same reasons already stated. Either way, great shotsthumb.gif
