I was just about to comment on this image in your gallery Angela and noticed you'd taken off your fish one. I love these boots which displays something special about the representation of Industry. Excellent choice to change. .."I more than just like this...I love it" and have made your boots a Favourite of mine.  Love Alison x  

LOL Alison. Glad you approve of the change. I feel better now as I have been mulling it over for days which I suppose sort of says that I wasn't content with my other entry. Anyway, I will have to acknowledge that hubby was right eventually! He suggested that I enter the boots shot as soon as the theme was announced.

I could have probably included a bit more of the boots, however, would still have chosen a tight crop as I wanted to focus primarily on the wear and tear gained throughout hubby's apprenticeship rather than just photograph a 'pair of boots'.

Unfortunately I can't retake even if I wanted to as the boots and shed are sadly no more!

Angela thanks for your comment on my image and though I really do like the tones and the contrast I still can't see the boots I still wish you all the best for the comp Ps the like was me

Nice detail and the image works well in b&w..BOL

Good decision Angela, I love this image!!

So glad you went with this one Angela. Its so good to see it doing so well too. Good choice.

Well i didnt see your fish one so i cant compare....but i do love this on Angela, you can see the hard work and toil these boots have been through, bet they could tell a tale or two!

 These boots were made for walking and thats just what they have done, and surely you will be walking home with a new camera this month,

Nice clear shot and a good idea for this month, works well for me,

VBOL THIS MONTH AND FOR THE FUTURE,

Please feel free to take a look at my pic and please do comment, at link below, and if you like, please like!!

Thanks Sean.

 Great to see the wonderful response Angela on your Industrial boots. Something special about this representation of Industry. Hope Mr Finepix notices. Your boots will now walk on to the scroller for sure. I have left a message in the UK Chat for you and boosted your boots with a bump up in the forum thread.  Looks like you made the right choice Angela. Nice one (boot)       

Re-edit adding....I mentioned your boots in Pam's forum thread too. I was wondering if the boots are a Size 11 by any chance? Just curious 

Yes I like the boots too.  My daughter has a similar pair, but she wears hers every day!  she has a 'lid' for them to stop spiders crawling in during the night!  They are her kiss ass boots.

I love the crop, it is arty, but hey you are an arty kind of gal!  The b&w is the obvious choice if you are going to display this in a posh London gallery, don't you think?

Good change.

 Unlike KevB I could see the boots but I still enlarged the thumbnail. I would suggest everyone viewing your picture does this and then the detail will be come apparent. A super image. I love the cobwebs which reminds me I must get my duster out of hibernation!!    Best wishes.

Had to nip back and have another look..........This really is a superb picture

Wow Angela, this is a stunning shot in my opinion, but it is right up my Strasse, being b/w & dark in nature, hope you strike a blow for black and whiters everywhere!! Cheers, Steve.

 Hip hip hooray, Angela your boots have walked right on to the scroller...well done.

I am laughing my socks off at the irony as your brilliant boots image has just kicked off my fun Muttley crew dogs off the scroller. Mine was only on an hour. Ha ha. Well done Angela I am so genuinely pleased for you. Nice one

Scroller today.............I just hope the next step is on the podium

Well done Angela,  good thinking batman.  So glad you made the scroller.

Well done Angela for making the scroller with this one. Certainly speaks industry and having it in B/W really is a  fabulous idea.   I loved your fish one though it made me smile. I thought it was a great one for the theme as well.

Just brilliant and well done. Good Luck. Pam

that is different and a must in the industry - well done and good luck

An atmospheric photo full of character. Great!

Like it a lot. very atmospheric and aged. I lived in a coastal cottage built in the early 1800' and found a similar boot in the 'bread oven' by the side of the open hearth.Good Luck in the Competition.

Interesting image, Angela!  You have stirred up quite a debate.  Unfortunately your entry doesn't work for me this time.

Hi Angela!  I think I find this image a bit flat.  Having said that, I like the idea of the old working boot.  I still use mine for digging the garden!

great image VBOL
