The leading line of the shoes in this picture makes the viewer feel invited either to place their shoes next to the white pair and add to the row, or to step into one of the pairs of shoes. The high camera angle used in the shot adds to this effect, because it makes the viewer feel like they are standing over the shoes in the picture. Also, the close shot of the shoes eliminates distractions from the background and allows the viewer to focus on the shoes. This photo makes me think about the importance of belonging in a group—the shoes seem to represent a club that their owners belong to, and the leading lines make the viewer feel welcome to join.
The leading lines of the photo make the viewer look past the first two pair of shoes, eventually looking at the last pair. I think the topic of this photo is growing up. While the first pair of shoes are little girls shoes, the second are a teenager's converses, and the third are black dress shoes, belonging to a grown woman. Also the lighting puts the little shoes in the front the first thing the viewer looks at, gradually moving to the last pair of shoes hidden in the shadow.
I like this picture because it kind of shows the basic shoe wardrobe. Because of the leading line and shadow you think that this person must wear their tennis shoes a lot and save the dressier shoes for rare occasions. Because of the high angle you almost feel as if you are the one that is picking the shoes which resmebles the everyday choice you have to make about what to wear which in society today is pretty important.
