Kodak Easyshare M381 12megapixel. I have edited almost all the photos to make them as accurate to real life as possible. This color actually wasn't TOO far off as the bloom was starting to age in wet conditions.

As you likely are aware, reds can often be the most difficult for digital cameras to get right. Deep reds can get "muddied" a bit when compression is applied but yours maintained a bright, vibrant color. As you have submitted so many (wonderful) photos it might be worthwhile for you to take a photo of a standard color chart and post that too. Thanks again for your participation.

Haha, I'll have to give that a try sometime. Reds/pinks are definitely the hardest to capture such as Zephirine Drouhin pinks. Exposure and shadow editing on my part makes me try to recreate the reds/pinks to the best of my ability as they appeared in real life. True reds such as "Dublin Bay" are easier to capture as long as it is on a partly cloudy day and not naturally overexposed by the lighting.
