50 shades of....RED


This is the second in my series on "50 shades of..." As I noted in my previous post, 50 shades of....YELLOW, by suggesting that the pictures below are all have the color "red" in common, your eye is drawn to the color red color in the photos even if the photo has alot of other colors.

Especially true is my pic with the yellow buttercups and the lady bug. You will notice that even if the pic is predominantly yellow, your eye is automatically focussing on the lady bug by power of suggestion.
 
When I think of red, the first thing that comes to mind is LOVE; red hearts, Valentine's day and red lips. Red is sensual, hot and adds spice to your life or your favorite meal (chilly peppers).
 
Red is Christmas....in the decorations, in Santa Clause's suit and candy canes. Red can also bring out the fire in you, when your angry and seeing red or when you think: "the devil made me do it".
 
Red is also the theme in popular songs such as "Lady in red", "Red, Red, Wine" and appropriately for this time of year, "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer".

You will find below 2 different types of pics "Color" vs. "Black and white with red as the pop of color".
 
I hope you enjoy them. (Double click on the pics to see a larger version of the photo)
