lin - those are AMAZING. And really impressive photoshop work with the Vogue!

LIN: The direct flash on the shiny leather is very distracting. It might have been better with more ambient light and no flash.

Marushka: I really like the black background effect. I also really like the dof. very good

Yes, I know, shwaip.. I tried taking it with natural light cast through the window but it was too dark outside to not use the flash, and only other lighting was a ceiling light, which also reflected off the shoes. I chose the lesser of two evils. I hear what you're saying, though.

Thanks, Marushka! (Oh, and that wasn't photoshop, - just availed myself of a site that allows you to plunk your picture into pre-existing images). :)

I like the black backdrop in your pic, too, - and the angle. Nicely centered.

I had a photo for this but somehow misplaced it somewhere between all my drives. My luck I left it on my desktop when I reinstalled few weeks ago :(
