From The Rancher’s Wife Kate… we just loved this sweet shade of red!
This cute belly, clothed in red stripes, was too precious not to share with you. From grethelvanepps.
Love. Fantastic in every way, from be true.
We loved all the different elements of red in this stunning image from Ava’s Mom07. What a darling little girl!
But this next one…. OH THIS NEXT ONE… was our favorite all around! Congratulations, cmhalsey74! Your image is the winner of our Red Challenge this week!
The varying tones and shades of red, the light, the focus, the creamy bokeh (oh my, the bokeh) and the overall feel of the image is just what we were looking for. Beautiful job!

If you’re still having fun with the color red, be sure and read Bree’s wonderful tutorial on photographing reds in your images. It was a great article, and so helpful.
