When I allow my imagination to run amok, I do not see a happy ending to this story.

An image that makes you think and is therefore successful.

Nonsense! She got rid of them, didn't she?

I hope that no offence will be taken (where none is intended) if I say that I don't find the colour rendition quite right. The pinks are as weak as the greys and I'm not sure that there's anything to be done about it. Is there a black in there? I wonder if adjusting levels to get a black somewhere, not much but somewhere might help?

I also wonder if the shoes are as you found them or you arranged them that way? In similar situations I am reluctant to move things but in this case I would have tried and probably failed to improve it. Maybe closer together and a square crop but that isn't your photograph. I just don't feel the composition is quite right in some way. That yellow wrapper/leaf top left is distracting drawing the eye away from your subject. I'd have done some litter collection for sure :)

For the observations you state are what attracted me...The discarded SOFT feminine pink.

There's something evocative about empty shoes. I recently saw a memorial to victims of the Holocaust in Budapest. It consisted of empty shoes of all sizes and shapes, on the banks of the Danube where the executions took place. Children's shoes were among the adult shoes.

It's funny how shoes are only thought of as empty outdoors.
