I don't generally make esthetic comments on this forum except on competition winners and near-winners. I've shot a lot of advertising pictures of shoes, though, and this one is so universally accepted it's almost technical instead of esthetic.

Any time you show the side of a shoe or a pair of shoes, the outside needs to be most visible. (That is, the right side of a right shoe, the left side of a left shoe.) This shows more of what the shoe designer intended. Obviously, this makes less difference with baby shoes, where the inside side and the outside side are nearly identical.

If you're shooting as an artist or as a well-established shoe photographer, you can certainly break this rule. But developing commercial photographers getting their first shoe account need to know it.

It's sort of like always photographing a watch or a clock set at either 8:20 or 10:10, depending on what country you're in and what the custom is there.

Fil Hunter Thanks Fil. I can see what you are talking about, and will remember that pointer for the next shoot.
Another thing I noted only after a while is the black line at the front of the picture. It was caused by a "curl" in the Bristol I used.
Will have to take a similar shot soon to make up.
