Cool pic, knarf! I like the shallow DOF too! For what it's worth though, I'm glad we don't have smellovision!

Hi Jack, I'm certainly not here to say that you're wrong, you're only saying what feels right for you, and that's always valid. However, I have to say, the two things that you commented on are exactly the details that I like about the photo! ;-) I purposely focused on the white star, with the resultant sharpness and detail in the laces. The more I looked at it the more I liked it. The OOF toes and heels of the shoes seem to emphasize their age and state of decay to my eyes. And that lace going out of the frame on the right works for me, though I can't say why. just gives a certain "flow" to the photo, I guess. I certainly appreciate your comments, and this post is not a "counter-critique", rather an explanation as to why I like the photo despite those characteristics that (with some validity) bothered you a bit.

Re: PESO - Comfortable As...
Nice shot. It oozes comfort! I pronate excessively, so I can't continue to wear sneakers or running shoes after the soles have worn substantially. Jealous of those!

Re: PESO - Comfortable As...
Obviously, I can't enjoy the shot in the same way you do. It's you personal nostalgia at play. ;) As a photo, the DoF is a little shallow and I'd liked to have seen the complete length of the lace in the shoe on "my" right.
