Honestly i like the colors ont he first but I am not much into abstract so... The runners though, well i like the shot, it seems bright. I would tone it down a bit. I would disagree with Mike in the fact that if anything I would pan back a bit. this could take care of the brightness depending on the surrounding items, and if they are in the bottom of say a messy closet that would tell a differnt story. Perhaps one would wonder why they haven't been used. But hey what do I know? I am but a poor man that has only cowboy boots!
