19/365

Not gonna say this is the most inspired photo I've ever taken, but it is about all I had in me today.

I used the opportunity to study framing and I also had a go with the dodge & burn tools to try to enhance the balance of the shot. I probably went a little overboard with the burn tool - especially on the boots - but it is interesting to me how a little darkening will add a realer-than-real feeling to an object. To my eye, tracing the shadows like that pops the boots out of the image and makes them look painted.
The ground cracks really really good in front of your boots

@warrenbhall But my mom can thank me, I didn't step on 'em.
