both Bodmin and i have been a bit under the weather so i tried to cheer myself up with something girly and fun :-) this shot was taken a few months ago.. i had just bought these great shoes and was trying then on (sadly they had to go back as they were a bit loose..) when i thought 'mmmm.. these shoes look pretty photogenic!' ihih so i set the camera up, climbed on a table and took some shots.. of course i only managed to take a few before Bodmin leapt up next to me to join in... ^_^ - and as i was trying them on it occured to me that i had absolutely nowhere to wear them in the town where i was living then so... hence the title..

PP consisted of cropping and resizing, coverting to grayscale, cloning out the table i was standing on, usm, then the application of my much loved grain via 'add noise' and a soft lighting effect for more film noir-esque drama.. then simply framed, added text and my sickle moon and voila! i really hope you enjoy it :-)

take care all,

Ayda

Very fun picture, Ayda, and I really like the title. Very classy picture with a great way to show off these shoes...could be a page in a catalogue. Good idea to include a part of your leg (you have good legs so why not show them) and the one foot behind the other. Nice treatment as usual. Well done!

Really pleasant, Ayda ! Nice grain on B/W, well cropped composition and sexy style. Well done, this is a good work.
Take care,
Martine

Nice pose, Ayda ;o). Amazing, you only show us your legs and shoes, and immediately we know you were "all dressed up"... imagine what it would look like should you have taken a long-shot here, hehe. I like the film noir approach, but I think the shoe model is a bit out of style (for film noir, that is). I'm glad you're feeling up to posting again.
TFS and... take care.
And hug Sir Bodmin for me, will you ?

awesome work, i really like the light in this picture.
The grain is very nice too.
The composition is perfect!
nice job!
Fred

Very stylish, Ayda! Love the background light with such a nice gradient. Not sure if it's the USM, but there is a halo around your beautiful legs that's a bit distracting. Otherwise, a great composition. Good work!

Nice one Adya, the grain is eye catching. B

Ayda, thats really perfect for the playbill of an exhibition....what do you think about it ;-)
Mi piace moltissimo, mi fa pensare a situazioni divertenti e mondane, in giro per locali romani...

A presto

Marco

but it's importanto to be ready to go.... ;-)))
My feeling looking at your post is you are waiting for something/someone....... that doesn't arrive..... so it's better to go out searching not it/him/her but searching to live your life.... isn't it?
as usual your image is great
Paolo

like the simplicity here Ayda..very original and creative shot !!

Nice idea to shoot just your legs and new shoes silhouetted against the light. I missed your birthday..when was it? Say hi to Bodmin.

dear ayda,

I love the words, I love the picture. I think bw is much better than the violet one.

d.

Nice graphic. I relly like the simplicity, and the lighting is absolutely the best. Great work. Do you have a shot with Bodmin? I think that would look great with the cat included.
