Agree there's lots of clutter in there, all vying for your eyes attention, the richness of the colours works really well...

Thanks a lot, Rod, Lydia and tv, for your friendly remarks. I do not think, Lydia, these shoes are supposed to clutter up your closet: you need to take them out to tango; do not forget, though, that it takes two to tango (shoes, that is!) ;-). When I saw this picture on my computer-screen for the first time myself, my first reaction was to delete it immediately due to the visual "clutter", until I found in it those qualities you mention, tv, that made me change my mind. Thanks again to the three of you! -- db

You guys got here before me, but I agree this works very well for the reasons you have stated, all, including Lydia's crack about shoes in her closet which makes the point that these are garish examples of stand-alone clutter. Outstanding image Daniel, and I'm frankly amazed that so many of these early submissions get the idea. There must have been a lot of pent up anti-neatness pressure - so here it comes out in fine style. -tv

I like this shot.. the colors pop and it's interesting to look at. I think it's on-topic 'cause if I bought a pair of those glitter shoes, all they'd do is clutter up my closet! *grin* ~ Lydia

That's good enough for me, Rod: the "reflection-clutter" is anyway what I meant as far as the challenge "on-topicness" goes. Thanks for commenting! -- db.

Nicely done Daniel even though the neat line shoes don't seem to be clutter all the reflections give this effect.
