Scores
Overall: 4/5
Composition: 4/5
Emotion: 4/5

Overall: This piece shows great contrast and leading lines. I love the model's pose, too. I'm not sure I like the trees in relation to Eun, though.

Composition: The model contrasts very nicely with the sky. However, I think there's a lot of green in the photo as a whole. The way Eun looks at her shoes/fan is great, because it draws my eyes directly to the subject of the title - her shoes.I really like the variety of textures present in this shot, and the lighting is very nice. The tree line behind her is probably the only part I don't like, and that's because I think her outfit would contrast much better with clear blue sky. I also really like the fact that she's barefoot.

Emotion: Green is a lively color; this photo is full of life. I like the way she's looking at her shoes - it reminds me of seeing an old friend after a long while or reminiscing about the good old days. There's also a subtle hint of freedom shown by how she's barefoot..

About Viatrierci:
She's does photogrpahy as a hobby and, like all of us, she's not always very enthusiastic about it. She got her first DSLR last year (January 9, 2009). She used to be into landscapes, but limited travel experiences have caused her to move on to other things, such as fashion and avante garde. She wants to do underwater photography, but the equipment is expensive, so she's content to stick with above-water photography, for now. Viatrierci's gallery is quite diverse, and is definitely worth pawing through.

Tip of The Day:
Flowers are a great way to improve your skills, because they're better at sitting still than many other things.
