This one's my favourite of this series. I hope you like it, too.

Photographer: me
Model: me

Taken with fujifilm finepix 2650, edited in photoshop.

EDIT: Like ~psamtik suggested, and like I was thinking of doing, I did a bit of cleaning up in the top of the photo, where there was some dust interfering, and I also blackened the background to make the legs stand out more. I hope you like this version better, cos I do.

2nd EDIT: I've updated this with a larger version, so it may be printable one of these days. Plus I'd like to be able to submit this to the fair next year, if I remember to. ;)

3rd EDIT: I did end up entering this in the Mid-State Fair in July 2005, and it won 2nd Place in the Advanced Amateur Digitally Enhanced Photography section, which got me $20. :D

No, they're pink... kind of a peach-ish colour, though. It was difficult to get the colour accurate on this... I'm not really very happy with how not pink they are. I'm editing the colour a bit more before I submit it in the fair. But yes, this is manipulated. Not a whole lot, but enough to make it not a pure photo. I removed the stuff that was in the background so it's just black, and I desaturated everything but the shoes, and I did alter the colour a bit to try to make them look better, but I think it made it worse... :lol: I barely remember anymore, though, since it's been almost a year since I created this. Thanks so much, though! :)

Yeah, I agree. :nod: I think some places will custom dye shoes, for you, though... you might wanna look into it. ;) I have a pair I dyed red once, which turned out cool. :D

LOL, I probably don't have "the feet" for it, either... I just beat my feet into submission to do it. :P
