I absolutely love the way you put the shoes together. I like the way you tried to be creative also. For me though, shoes like this say "fashion" and the surroundings don't really show "fashion". If you had a sign out there with a big X on it or something, the photo might make a statement. The lighting, rule of thirds, color, focus and crispness is great!

I think the author is trying, precisely, to create a statement of "conflict of dis-similarities", in putting a pair of fashionable shoes in an unlikely setting, hence heightening it's visual and emotional impact, like shooting a well-manicured pair of hands doing iron-mongery or something rough and dirty like that.

I find the photo very original, and where will the owner who was raised in a hurry shoes? a thriller?

I like that the 2 textures combine sort of. Maybe a person would have wanted to cross the river without getting her shoes ruined?

I like the juxtaposition of the fancy shoes out away from civilization

after looking at this, it look soft will reshoot tomorrow, sorry birdies

great shot

lol, love the humor and light heartiness of the photo (though it isn't fun for the bird I'm sure)

NO animals where harmed in this photo hehehe

Nice capture photographer! (and kitty..... )

I'm going to get in trouble for this. It's a great shot, but totally off theme.
I have red flagged it twice.
Goal was "The whole feather should be visible and be the main object in your shot."

In my opinion its on theme, as the first thing I look at is the feather, i have used dof, so the whole cat is not in focas n there is nowhere in guide lines does it say no other object in the shot. n if it is off topic at this late stage, im sure it will be voted on accordingly......

n it is a whole feather just a small 1 from a moulting bird.

it's a red tabby, they rule the world.. and love to swat at the universe

Congrats, It's a beautiful photo, and it seems I was wrong about thinking it was Off Theme. I had hedged my feeling by giving it a high score.
