Dee - this is a great shot.
Wendell has suggested you sell it to Nike - I think this is a great idea.
I can see this enlarged in a Nike type shop. You've nailed this one - well done!

Wow!
No comment needed here
Dunno how you manage to do it but you always seem to get it right

Well done dee - a quick idea from me - the photo might display a little better (light on light) if you put a dark pencil thin border around it, im loosing the photo in the background on this site.

Lovely stuff - As has been said nice lighting, and it's the type of shot that should sell!

Dee - nicely composed shot but if I may make a few observations:
The angled Nike has good colour saturation but the lighting has produced one of those so called hotspots that is disconcerting.
The left hand Nike is problematical - the OOF action is at the front of the shoe and should be towards the rear, if at all. The lighting on this Nike is uneven and again has produced a hotspot. The main area of critique is the area around the laces - there is no definition, just a complex area of black.
Composition - excellent

I'd be happy if this where one of mine.
But would like a little more DOF to bring the front into focus, and the lighting re arranged to get rid of the "hot spots". A little more definition in the lace areas and the Nike swish would be good.
Having said that, I know that the image can sometimes lack detail in those dark areas in the posting, but can look ok in the original.

Awesome shot Dee,
Once again as mentioned above - you have to talk to Nike about this. It certainly is well composed and taken, sharp as this one

Nike will probably sue you for using their logo
Big companies are generally mean @ssholes.

Nice one flipfrog. Just to add on to Chris' comments about the uneven lighting, yeah the darker area on the side near the top of the left shoe detracts from the image a little. Maybe you could try another light source or a light tent.
