I agree... the shoe shot is far and away my favorite. I normally do not like to crop (rather do it with the camera) but I think this shot might benefit by removing the far left figure. I think this might make this a tighter, more graphic image. The line of disembodied feet in a diagonal partitioning of the frame might be nice. My second favorite is the wedding photog shooting the bride and the father (I assume father). It illustrates the humorless, artificial business of weddings.
