Racing start III - step II... time for big decisions... it's not the first time that I lose a runner!

In choosing a color scheme, I decided to go for a red dominance and complementary blues. As for the composition, I felt an urgent need to stamp out the guy in the back... his lines not being as "streamlined" as those from the runner in the foreground. Iwas afraid the final composition in color would look awkward...

This mucking around is outside my usual process... it will be interesting to see if I can pull this one off! For one thing, I need to improve the runner's proportions by raising his lower body one floor up! I'm not ready to throw the towel yet...
