LOVE IT!! This is great. The low lighting is perfect and the tight crop fills the scene with nostalgia. The planked floor and the old brick wall dates this back to when the broom was the all purpose cleaning tool. and the muddy boots indicate hard manual work. Great scene and best of luck in the contest.

I really like the simplicity of this....a pair of dirt work boots and the prerequisite broom (big plus that it's a corn broom.)

Beautiful color...I see you've used Topaz effects and texture....works perfectly w/ your subject.

Really nice work. Good luck in the contest.

    Your welcome. It's really lovely.
Comment from Bernadette Ballarin


Now this is my kinda photography. I love what you've done to the overall scene but what makes it my favourite is how you've captured two very simple subjects and brought them alive. The texture is just wonderful and muted colours and tones are totally immense. It's edgy and I love edgy. I'd give you a six if I had one. LOVE THIS.

I really like your composition. I like that you stayed in the same color palette. I love the texture effects that you have used on the photo. All technical aspects are excellent. Good luck in the contest.

This is a special image. The tones fit perfectly with the subject matter which was very well chosen. Technically, all is well. Great work

Comment from Barb Baker


I wish I had six to give you but I am all out. I love the story that this one could tell. Love the broom and boots next to each other against the brick wall. Although the photo has all of the same colors in different degrees it still get your attention! love the cropping and the slight light cast one the wall behind the broom and above the boots!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece.

    Thank you. I shot this outside on my porch in natural light with aperture priority setting and with a mini tripod. There wasn't any sun but the light was bright. :)
Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel


I think that this is a special still life composition, natural, genuine - and harmonious in color blend

awesome focus, your adjustment let the textures and details stand out perfectly

I also think that your slight vignette brings the focus more into the center creating a good DOF

contrast and indoor lighting are excellent

distance, angle and frame well combined

A very different still life composition from an all day life situation, all the best for the contest

    Thank you so much Regina for the wonderful review and very generous rating. I really tried to put a very everyday theme here. The work boots and the old corn broom just seemed like the perfect combination .

Comment from suffolkbrian


Surprising how such simple subjects can be turned almost into a piece of art,this also would not be a subject that springs to mind for still life,so full marks on both accounts,such a simple shot but a well taken one...brian

Comment from lynnkah


expressive is correct, reminds me of constantly sweeping off the side porch when my husband would be out in the field for weeks during training in the military, if the boots were black I'd almost swear you saw them there LOL.
well done.
