not at all feel free =], its just the angle of the leg on the left is covering the light reaching the boot on the right, infact the power of radiosity because the boots are so close would make the one behind a bit darker than it is now, but to make it stand out i desaturated it and added a smaller green lightsource on the bottom right (thats what you can see on the leg to the right). I understand what you are trying to say, but its impossible for the light to reach there.
the background was done after, i tried to find a colour that suited the pic... and a pattern that focus's ur eyes on the figure.. im not quite sure what ur suggesting about that
