Right away I notice the lack of shadows where the leather meets the

the boots when the debris seems to have shadows? Why would Jeff do this?

Everything is a bit of an illusion, isn't it? What makes the shadows
disappear is that the boots are not near the sidewalk, she's not
walking, so there is no shadow to disappear. She was sitting on some
scaffolding and swung her foot out when I was shooting her portrait
(with her boyfriend, maybe I will put that in the gallery soon) and I
just figured it might look odd...
Thanks for the detailed review!
