This image oozes elegance and style!
The framing is just right. It gives you an idea of the story but draws you into the shoes as the main subject.
The colour palette is appealing and the skin tones on the arms and hands are natural .
The balance of the image is perfect and I love the way it fills the frame with the dress.
Thanks for taking part in my challenge and congratulations on being in the top 10.
This image caught my eye immediately.
I love the colour palette which has slightly subdued colours allowing the golden shoes to pop out of the image announcing themselves as the subject.
The reflection adds another element to the image and is executed very well.
The framing is just right, cutting off at the base of the skirt emphasising the elegance and skill of the ballerina but concentrating your eye to the footwear. The symmetry of the image adds to the appeal..
The black background that eliminates any distractions works really well.
Thanks for taking part in my challenge and congratulations on the winning image!
This image caught my eye and made me look again. I like the low angle that the shot was taken and the connection with the shoe cleaner's eyes.
The shoes are central to the image and the fact that his feet are bare resonates and gives you that slightly uneasy feeling of a hard life serving others.
I think the choice of black and white works well in the documentary\street portrait type image that you have created here.
The only minor criticism I would have is the figure in background is slightly distracting, though I know that in street photography this can be difficult .
This is an image that I loved and an image I feel, thanks for taking part in my challenge and congratulations on your top 10 place!

The framing is great with the main emphasis being on the subject of the shoes.
The image is well balanced and it has great symmetry.
