Nice entry, my vote
peggy gardner gave props (4 Jul 2009):
I believe in photography we are dealing with "visible" colors, and I disagree that white would be considered a "vivid color" as the guidelines suggest, however, this photo stands on it's own in composition - back to vote, yes.

Aaron Schwartz gave props (31 Jul 2009):
Uncle Cecil's snazzy taste in shoes reminds us that the real story is that Isaac Newton discovered the law of gravity when he observed a white shoe falling off a shoe tree. A little known fact. Meanwhile, I'd like to hang out with Uncle Cecil during Happy Hour sometime.
Lori D'Ambrosio gave props (4 Aug 2009):
