This photo happnede kinda by accident, but it's one of my favorites that I've ever done.

It was shot at Indiana Dunes State Park, on an overcast day, and i was shootin trees n stuff, when I slipped down a lil, and fell down, and noticed a leftover baby's shoe. Naturally, from the lowered angle, with the hazy lighting, it just looked so sad and depressing, yet beautiful. That's why I love this shot so much. It just seems like there's a lot of feelings and emotion conveyed by the shot itself.

How sad... I really love the composition and the way the shoe is kind of off to the side.

The mere existence of flame throwers says that someone, sometime, somewhere said to himself, 'You know, I'd like to set that guy over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.'

I like the shot too...it does convey a sad and abandoned feeling. The black and white, along with the heavy grain, adds nicely to the mood. The only thing I would have done differently I think is moved the twig that's lying in front of the shoe to tighten up the composition a bit...but that's just an opinion. Also the cropping is a little off at the edges, some white is still visible in front of the black line that beings the frame. But very nice shot overall.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna fix the edges, but with my shots, I like shooting things as they are. That's why the twig is there, its just how i found it.

This really hits my heart. It's so beautiful and emotive. I can't help but favourite it.
Gorgeous capture. I wouldn't change a thing :)
