Okay, I can explain. At a local park they are putting up new sculptures, they are installing the pedestals first and the statues later. The statue had not yet arrived for that pedestal so I insisted Dawn climb up there for a quick render. She had to take off her shoes to get up there and then I̶ ̶l̶o̶a̶d̶e̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶s̶h̶o̶e̶s̶ ̶i̶n̶t̶o̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶s̶c̶e̶n̶e̶ ̶ I handed the shoes up to her; and as she was putting them on I said, “wait before we render; your pink toenail polish looks great, lets render one shoe on and one shoe off.”
All jokes aside, thanks for the critique, it is a good observation that she most likely would not have laid the shoe down that way. The artist capturing the image turned the shoe that way to help with the composition. I wanted her face and the shoes to pop, and the trees to help force the eye to Dawn, and the thickest branch to her face. It was a conscious decision.
But I couldn’t help but smile and try to visualize you looking at my render and coping the pose and taking your shoes off and on, that’s awesome! Never in a million years would I have ever expected someone to do that. It is great to know that I helped create an image that not only made someone look at it and think; but actually try to act out the scene. Friend for life, that’s incredible.
