Zippers, but which?

[Andre]

So there is this photocontest with the subject zippers (http://www.dpreview.com/challenges/Challenge.aspx?ID=3684), so I thought, what the heck.

But I can't decide which one to submit. The bunch could appeal to people, not so much to me. Red gold is maybe too shiny beads and mirrors type. Maybe green copper is too dull. Any suggestions?

The bunch:

oh for Andy's factor of ten game, here are life size crops of the last two:

Thanks Turbo, I may crop it a bit like this:

That's OK, but a bit tight. I like the one in post#1. But that's just me.

I like the pics- nice vibrant colors, good mix of textures.

The 'red gold' and 'green copper' are rather... suggestive. The cropped version emphasizes that, if that's a good thing.

If you can re-do 'the bunch' and more carefully arrange the pull tabs, it would look better, IMO.

Good luck!
