Showing the Shoe

Its probably a bit risky showing a shoe shot, but here we are. I find it extremely difficult to find shoes that fit me. My feet are only average size, but God seems to have given me an awkward fitting and also a strange combination of left and right foot sizes! But I think he must have invented Marks and Spencers too, as they seem to be the only store that cater for my needs! Hmm, don't worry, I don't have to buy separate shoe sizes though!!
If you hadn't heard of Marks and Spencers before, you probably have by now! Its so well known over here....

I love the lighting and texture.

This is another one of those sumptuous shots. How you can make an old shoe look so sumptuous, I don't know ...but it's amazing. This is a lovely shot and certainly deserves to be in the popular galleries...but I've left a comment instead. :-)

I love the perspective you have chosen for this! The warm tones give a "homey" feel to this image sort of like the saying, "comfortable as an old shoe."

Nice photo. The M&S shoes I use at the moment are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had.
Guest 24-Mar-2004 15:08
I like the lighting used here Ray, nice shot and story!
Guest 24-Mar-2004 07:34
Wow, you make a shoe look really cool. I, however, am NOT voting for this!! LOL!

Wonderful shot, nice lighting. Shoes are not a bad idea for a theme....

You got this nice lighting in the store? Great! I think I should go there to buy MY shoes too. I love the brown leather texture. Nothing like a new pair of shoes, eh?!
Guest 24-Mar-2004 02:22
What a warm, comforting in some way, shot... just like the perfect pair of shoes!

Excellent light..always.
Guest 23-Mar-2004 22:24
Fantastic lighting, Ray - and M&S are as synonymous with English things as fish and chips, I think!!

Stunning image Ray. I love the lighting. Wonderful! Got my vote.
Guest 23-Mar-2004 22:08

Marks and who? Good sharp shot.
Carolyn B.23-Mar-2004 21:26
Beautiful, Ray - the warm colors and sharpness are stunning. Simple subject, but a fine, artistic presentation.

Your lighting is always so perfect!! Love the detail and the tight composition.
