High-key C&C

I think this could be improved using a smaller aperture so that more of the shoe is within the DOF, rather than just the toe.

Also, did you use a low shutter speed? It looks like there was some camera shake that occurred when you pressed the shutter. The shoe lace has a ghost just to the right of it that appears like it was caused by a lower shutter speed.

2nd on the smaller aperture. Only the toe is in focus, the rest is very soft. With shots like this, its pretty essential to have the entire subject in focus, I think.

I used tripod and remote shutter-release so it was most definitely no camera-shake.

agree on aperture, I'll redo it and post update

If your going for a product shot here then yes the whole shoe definitely needs to be in focus.
