Kick off your shoes and live
Life is about experiencing with your senses. Sometimes you gotta kick off your footwear and feel with your overly protected feet. I was walking along the beach with my boyfriend and like we always do, take off our flipflops to feel the sand between our toes and let the waves hit up against our feet. The flipflops represent us, our relationship, our time spent together in appreciation for the life we are given.

I want to go to the beach.

This photo reminds me that I need to kick off my shoes and slow down once in a while. I haven't done that in years! It's a perfect photo to take me away from my daily hectic routine. Love it!

You have huge feet

Loose composition without impact. Borring lighting with harsh shadows. Not very sharp.
By Elaine on Tuesday, 8 May 2007 12:15 AM
Great picture, beautiful view!
By shapalicious on Tuesday, 8 May 2007 12:36 AM
Which beach is that?
crooked
By mariusz on Tuesday, 8 May 2007 12:49 AM
is the horizon slightly crooked?
By djmenace on Tuesday, 8 May 2007 12:58 AM
from the cast shadow of the slippers...I can tell that the sun was on your right giving it a very sunny feel...perhaps it symbolizes the meaning of life? Furthermore, the way that the waves are crashing and the ocean's baby-blue color give me a feeling of depth and perhaps a symbol that our hearts are a deep ocean of secrets....J/K...I have no idea what I'm talking about...nice pic though!

Love this picture! It's so relaxing...
By giulilove on Wednesday, 9 May 2007 12:19 AM
the color of the ocean makes it look diseased. the horizon line looks crooked. it's just boring, and i personally don't think that life is meant to be relaxing.
By FotoFlyer1 on Wednesday, 9 May 2007 2:03 AM
This picture has a unique perspective that tells everything that needs to be known about the meaning of life. Our concept of a "meaning" of life can not be put into any concrete form or thought. It is purely an abstract concept that no one can really answer can they? The flip-flops are a great allegorical representation of people. The beach and the ocean going forwards away from the shoes represents the known and the unknown of life ahead. In this case, good compositional idea. My only negative thought is that the picture could easily be artistically improved as far as lighting and color is concerned because it is rather simple. Yet despite that, you get my vote.
By mchao on Wednesday, 9 May 2007 2:42 AM
definitely reminds you of the simple things in life we forget. beautiful pic!
By Mandu on Wednesday, 9 May 2007 8:31 AM
I didn't know you had such big feet. Rob's got little feet ha ha
By ironmike on Wednesday, 9 May 2007 12:53 PM
I dont know really why they love this picture, theres not even a life exist here. Where are the people who owns this sandals? Did they drowned or something? are they dead? Where is life here!
By nguyet on Wednesday, 9 May 2007 7:54 PM

By HONEST GUY on Thursday, 10 May 2007 12:20 AM
THIS IMAGE IS HOPELESS, BAD TECHNIQUE, BORING COLORS, DULL IN EVERY ASPECT, IT'S A TOTAL WASTE. WHAT KIND OF COMMENTS GAMING IS THIS? PLEASE STOP THIS NONSENSE. PLEASE RESPECT THIS EXCELLENT CONTEST.
I totally agree...
By Craig008 on Thursday, 10 May 2007 12:22 AM
...cut the crap, stop the cheating, guys.
Unreal
By JenKaps on Thursday, 10 May 2007 2:53 AM

By lynn on Thursday, 10 May 2007 2:08 PM
great picture... i strongly agree with your caption also...
Stop cheating
By Hopeless guy on Friday, 11 May 2007 12:30 AM
Pathetic.... please STOP cheating guys. At the end, it will be embarrasing if this photograph win the competition. The Crestock credibility will be in doubt. Anyway, good luck with your cheating.
By nimi9 on Friday, 11 May 2007 5:33 AM
You captured a great shot of the beach, makes me want to sink my feet into the sand. Love the description! I hope one day I get a set of flipflops next to mine :)
By Alfredo on Friday, 11 May 2007 6:05 AM
I agree you all you guys... it's a nice photo, but you have entered it in the wrong theme...this is a photo competition about the meaning of life... not about footwears.. what a disapointment.
Cheating?
By Completely Fair on Friday, 11 May 2007 10:31 AM
Everything about this submission seems legitimate based on the contest rules. I don't even think it is possible to cheat, especially since the Crestock judges have half the say in who wins. Get over it.
By DarioC on Saturday, 12 May 2007 1:04 AM
thank god for judges!

By abdulahh07 on Saturday, 12 May 2007 11:05 AM
