Falling Shoes

The window panes are (ahem) fake. Made 'em in Photoshop Elements. The shoes are my new walking/running
shoes...woohoo! I tried to take a good picture of them tossing them in the air but just couldn't get one that
was a) in focus, b) had both shoes in it, and c) had just the sky. So I'm going with this one, and to make it
more interesting, I added the window frame. I'd be interested in feedback!

Oh yeah. My alternate PaD would have been this one. I think it's boring. http://www.pbase.com/image/32111874

Wow! Excellent shot! They do look like they are falling.

This is a fun action shot. Wouldn't have known about the window pane's until you pointed them out. hehe. Great job!

ha ha ha ha... you know, reading your comments made me think -- I wonder how silly we all must look as we intently go about our pursuit of photos by either tossing shoes in the air, or dropping ice in a glass or dripping water from any any all sources or hanging upside down or or or or all the endless antics people have performed all in the name of creative shooting. I can see you repeatedly tossing those sneakers and racing to catch the shot.

Fake window or not, I agree with you that this shot is infinitely more interesting than the alternate. I like it. Happy Jogging.

Very fun image, Gary. I like it a lot ... pretty off the wall! LOL

This is pretty cool!!! It makes me think about the guy who was wearing this shoes, could be becauswe the guy is heavier than the shoes that he or she is falling so faster and maybe is laying in the floor then the shoes are going to fall on his or her head?

That`s why this is cool, you can create a story by watching. GReat one!!!

This is cool! You've got such a great imagination. I like your alternate too -- the colors are so vivid.

Ya, the right sneaker looks like it is partly inside window. Creative solution although. And I much liked your alternate.
I'm delighted to see you are running... what a great way to run to success!!!!

LOL Gary, that is some imagination, I love this though, you did a wonderful job, the other is also good, with the colors and textures, honest!

Like how the right side is coming thru the window a little.
They look comfy, but don't get blisters. :)

Here is my feedback: Congratulation, not only do you have a new book, you also have a new pair of sneakers....:o))))
