you did so well with the texture in 1, as it's so hard to get that colour of red to look good in digital, awesome dof too.

Awesome, #1's composition is wonderful! It's so nice to see that vibrant red during such a grey time!

I've been playing around with this one tonight. Let me know if you like the first or this one better.

Thanks!!

P.S. I'm new to selective coloring so go easy on me!
