Fifth Position by tdaug80

Fifth Position

My get-pushed partner challenged me to photograph my favorite shoes in a unique manner. Being a man, I don't really have a favorite pair of shoes. I have a pair of black shoes, a pair of brown shoes, and a pair of sneakers. I do like ballroom dancing, though, and these are the shoes I wear for that. For those who took ballet, you will recognize that this isn't exactly 5th position. In ballroom, we have some steps named after that ballet position, but adapted for ballroom dancing.
Elena, here is my response to your challenge. Be sure to tag me in a comment to your response to my challenge. If you tag me in the description, it doesn't show on my notifications. That's a little quirk with the 365 site. @theredcamera

@tdaug80 Hi Tim, this is such a great answer to my challenge. I love the position of the shoes, it's a call back to my ballet lessons from so long ago. And the shoes show great character too, a little vintage, if you don't mind me saying, men's shoes look so different these days; mostly casual and tennis type. I remember my dad's wing tips and the cedar shoe stays he kept in them. The wood "dance floor" is such a good background for this composition too. I hope I tagged you correctly in a comment below my posting. Thanks again for a good "push".
