Hehe. I like. I usually complain about all the "negative space" that shows up often in images, but in this case, it really works. The angled wires give balance.
One thing I would watch out for is over-sharpening. The shoes have a bit of a halo around them that looks like a common sharpening artifact. If you didn't apply any sharpening in software, I would turn it down in your camera.
ooo i really like that, looks like it has been edited quite a lot, the sky and the light on the shoes dont really match....either that or i'm going crazy
This is not the first photo of shoes on the wire that I am seeing here on TPF, now what IS it with people and their shoes over there? Why don't they just put them in their shoe rack at home !?!?!?
Actually, I quite like the edited (here posted as first) version. A run through NeatImage might clear out whichever effects it shows right now (or it might ruin it... it is a trial and error thing with NeatImage).
But why is it there is NO spot (as if on the sensor or the mirror) in the original version, yet there is one - right next to the shoes - in the edited one?
