Now i'm stuck. Not Sure where to go from here, or which one to go with.

Being as I haven't entered one of these yet I figured it was time to "get off the Couch"...

1) Arctic Camo

2) Crocsmas Lights

3) On the Edge

4) Shoe Tree

Like the concept behind #1 a lot, perhaps lightened up slightly. And #4 is bizarre and hilarious. Love it!

I really like the shoe tree but I might take the flag out.

I like shot #1 if you crop the back dark ground or adjust the levels a bit to get less contrast in the picture. If you go with #4, I would also remove the flag and shoot it from above so you see the snow in the background as if to say, "summer is suspended"

I thought of the "From above" aspect. The problem is the tree is in my back yard and no way possible to shoot it looking down without a really distracting back ground. House, Shed, Garage, Neighbors House or my Patio would all be in the background.

Since I have a lot of snow here and there are about 18 pairs of crocs in this place i may try a different location. Who knows I may even try washing the white ones to make them harder to see.

I like 1 and 3. I agree with working on the levels in #1. I like the perspective of #3.

I love the shoe tree idea, minus the flag, only because it doesn't seem to add anything to the composition or story of this shot. Also, the lighting leaves a bit to be desired. How about some re-shoots of this one with some different focal lengths, lighting, comp? I don't know exactly but I do like the shoe tree concept.

Now that you're off the couch, STAY OFF IT!!, and keep shooting. Welcome to the Dgrin Challenges.

okay, Something like this?

I'm Still trying to find a way to make #4 Better.... I just love the play on words there

i like the concept in #4, the tree shoes. i think you need to keep working on it. on shots like this one, i find that i can keep refining and taking more shots, changing the light, the perspective, etc., and usually my last shot is the best one!
good luck,
mark;)
