...Boots...Made for Walking (in Winter)

I had my 50mm on to capture some winter street scenes and ended up taking several photos of boots for some reason...I chose this as I think it captured the miserable muckiness of melting dirty snow. Taken about an hour before 3 more inches of snow arrived!
Note: Thursday is World Nutella Day and 365Toys are celebrating. Info at: http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/24764/toys-on-365-world-nutella-day
P3 is looking forward to posting on Thursday!

Nice one. Winter is getting us now.

[Milanie]

What a neat shot - love the focus and love it in b&w - perfect for your miserable weather (which really started out quite pretty for the first day).

[Sue Wilde]

There's a tremendous sense of movement here

[KWind]

Great POV!

[Kane Arlow]

It sounds like you have had lots of snow. We are bout to get a bit of a heat wave:)

[Richard Hickey]

Cool picture.

[Call me Joe]

Super cool - saw in the news ur getting more white powder- stay warm and dry!!

[Kerri]

Cool shot

[Cindy]

excellent bw image

[Eric di Bosco]

Interestingly different street shot! Great B&W - LR?

[Taffy]

@ericdibosco Yep -- all LR! I'm finding it is really a useful program. I still use Silver Efex if I can't get what I want from LR, but for now, at least LR is now my first choice and Silver Efex is the backup, instead of the reverse.

[Debs Stott]

Great contrasts of black boots and white(ish) snow.

[Corrie]

Boots are made for walking!

[Robyn]

Great pov

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Love the textures!

[Eric di Bosco]

@taffy :)

[Sheralee S]

Great contrast to make those boots really pop.

[Darlene]

I love the boots and the song as well. Great shot, Taffy. You learned Lightroom fast. We are expecting rain Friday through the weekend, about 4" by next Monday.

[Issi Bannerman]

Love it! Great POV.

[Jnadonza]

fav

[Elizabeth]

Tells the winter story. Look really cold.

[Pam Knowler]

Great capture - really shows how mucky snow gets - and then you got even more!! They look like a good pair of boots just right for the horrible weather!!

[Eve Pulsater]

Gorgeous capture and love those fuzzy boots!

[Jennifer]

Perfect shot of snow when it's passed its best! Great boots!

[Babs]

Neat looking boots. I remember the slushy grey mucky snow as it melted. You have brought back a memory from over 25 years ago.

[Annie D]

love this Taffy - something joyful about it

[Irene]

Great pov. Like the boots

[Francoise]

fascinating how the white snow looks dirty and the black boots looks so clean. I like this turn-around.

[Rachel]

Very cool, love the composition

[Kathleen Hinkaty]

Love the B&W! Great capture.

[gloria jones]

Great capture, composition...certainly captures the aftermath

[Margaret Brown]

Like the simplicity and the pov in this shot

[Molly]

An unusual shot, perfectly executed.

[Ivan]

Nice wintery street capture!

[carol white]

Great pov, a super capture

[Nicole]

This is a fabulous capture!! love the b&w and your comp is fabulous!!

[Leon Buijs]

Lovely capture like the contrasts between the different (snow) textures and in light and dark grey tones

[Sally Ings]

Super capture, great composition

[virtualbrownie]

Great composition - you have captured the feeling of movement perfectly.

[Dione Giorgio]

Great textures and detail. Fabulous shot.

[Rosie Kerr]

This just evokes "Chicago in wintertime." Nice contrasts between the textures and lights - also, I like the low POV and focus on the walking feet.

[Julia]

Fabulous capture! Love the contrast and textures

[Richard Hickey]

Congratulations on making the Trending Page. Well deserved.

[Margaret Obey]

I do agree, melting town/city snow is not nice! Love the boots. They sum up the weather perfectly

[Erika]

Love the boots. Cool composition.

[Joan Robillard]

I suppose in the city 3 inches is as bad as a foot here in Maine. Melting snow can be awful to deal with.

[Taffy]

@joansmor Haha! It was 3" on top of 12"! A mere 3 inches wouldn't stop anything here...

[Ann H. LeFevre]

They look cozy with the fur coming out top- nice capture!

[Tom]

Very simple and wonderful photo. great textures and detail

[Leah]

Nice set of boots!!! Love your perspective on the muddy melting snow ... before it was covered up with more snow!!!

[Marnie]

Gosh, what a messy place to walk. Better you than me, I shan't complain about getting my sneakers wet with dew tomorrow. I really like this shot. It's different, and gives a great feel for the context.

[Islandgirl]

Great b&w............really shows the white stuff!

[Kathie]

Bet you got lots of different styles. Some impractical.

[Gena Pegg]

Love it...something about feet/shoes/boots! Kinda have thing for them in photos..like I do for benches, chairs, etc. Very nice in b&w...good slushy reflections.

[Lisa Poland]

Fabulous capture! FAV!

[Taffy]

@kathiecb You're right about the range, Kathie! I wonder sometimes when I see boots with high heels -- those are the ones I think are really impractical!

[Chris Johnson]

This looks so good in black and white. Those are some nice winter boots.
