the focus seems to be on the wall rather than the slippers

Rather the patterns on the fabric have faded away, friiski.

Guess this could be used.

very few would use this, however I love the scary doll stuff so could definitely make this strange or horrific. Very nice

It's a pity that the main focus is not on the face and hair but only the lower part of this image, otherwise it's certainly usable. Good luck!

Don't think this will make a great stockphoto and-or contestsuggestion for the PS contests. Those contests require photos which aren't premanipulated (in this case colorshifting), without the premanip it could be though...

agree, can you upload an image that hasn't got those colour adjustments.

i have been trying to upload the original image...one without the colour adjustments but somehow it is not getting uploaded...could nybody help...

Go to my contest entries, go to edit entry. Make sure you choose the new photo, then save changes.

dear mods,
i have tried to upload the original image as advised by other pxleyes members but failed. hence i would ask u to have this entry removed from the best stock photography contest.
thanks.

Apart from the color, I do think this could work well as contest photo. It's a sharp image (that is, the 2 persons on the bench). Good luck!
