Hi Sue, I would also like to see this same set up with a pair of black velvet stilettos. Got any in your closet? #1459654Sue C. Cole April 30, 2012 0
Hey Kristin, great idea...no stilettos in this grammies closet:) this was taken a a wedding I was photographing...the ladies started a little early in celebration:) #10114331Dale Hardin April 30, 2012 0
Nice concept Sue. What goes on at a wedding stays at a wedding. :o)On this particular shot, I think it can be helped a bit. First correct the tilt and then Crop to center the image because it is a symetrical composition.
Then would suggest removing the color cast and tweaking the highlights and shadows. #10114350

I like the suggestions from Dale and Kristin. Since the shoes aren't black is it possible to change the cushion to black? I wouldn't know how :) #10114584Carla Capra Anderson April 30, 2012 0
Lov'n this image, Sue. I like your creative staging of the girl's celebration and seeing all the details. Especially, like the texture in the cushion.

Very cute idea and I could care less what color the shoes are. My main issue was the uneveness of how far away each shoe was from the edge, but if you correct the tilt maybe that will work itself out. Also for BP you need a stroke for this. I do look forward to seeing your edits on this. It will be a shot everyone talks about for years when looking at the wedding album! :~) #10115089Jeff E Jensen April 30, 2012 0
Well, you've gotten some good suggestions, can't wait to see what you come up with. #10115137Peter W. Marks April 30, 2012 0
Having an impish sense of humor I think after making the shot that you did for the official wedding album I would have re-shot it with one of the shoes laying on its side to suggest that the half empty bottle of whiskey was, shall we say, evidence of a very happy union. Hic! #10115204Beth Spencer May 01, 2012 0
What a fun shot!! Is there anyway to get a little separation of the top of the bottle from the background.

Sue- I admire your ability with these advertisement looking shots. I,d like to see the changes that have been suggested. I,too, noticed the shoes were not equidistant from the sides of the frame. I think this could make a great square, center-weighted image. #10120169Stephen Shoff May 03, 2012 0
I have to agree with Aimee, having a few of this kind of shot scattered though a wedding album must help recapture the moment as well as the people. Nice job. #10120225Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
