Nicely done! I always have trouble keeping my reds under control, at least with my K5, but this seems spot-on.

Thank you.....Reds are often difficult to capture correctly as are Whites.

Sailor said it all! Love the deep, detailed reds, with the sharpness of the green cap on top. Extremely nice composition.

With a little imagination, one could see a beautiful young woman in a long, flowing red gown, twirling on her tiptoes in the night time.

Great shot. Others have said it and I agree, reds can be hard to portray. But this looks very rich and you can see lots of subtle contrast in the red tones. Nice!
