Larry, nice variety of “reds” you’ve shared. My favorite “Morning Light at Cedar Breaks” for the light and composition—nice!

Beautiful image Jeffrey—perfect for this Thursday’s Task. To answer your question “Why only landscapes?”—it’s Focalword LANDSCAPE section, however other members have shared floral and other “red” images as well—it all works!

Beautiful light at Dead Horse Point you’ve captured—very nice image Larry! Glad you shared this additional image—thank you! UPDATE: For some reason, I just viewed two gorgeous “reds” in your original post that I earlier missed somehow—the Bryce Canyon and Garden of the Gods images—both very nice images as well.And one More:
Sunrise at Dead Horse Point State Park

In this country we do not have many red rocks, even the local sandstone isn't particularly red so most of the shots will need something else to bring out the red. Ken
Last rays of the sun at Wastwater, Cumbria
Corsica has some orange verging on red rocks
Some years our leaves cling on long enough to really get red. This is my local 12thC church with a particularly strongly coloured beech tree.
Sometimes you get lucky with sunsets. This is my local Tarn, I saw the sunset developing and drove the 2 miles to here and watched the colours develop, this is peak red.
Lastly our poppies are deep red and fallow fields often get a spectacular show

Ken, excellent images—love the sunset image as well as the poppies blooming! The Cumbria sunset is my favorite of all—a gorgeous landscape (with a moon)!

A few images with red. Apologies for those who are a bit squeamish around blood.
How is that for dedication to insect photography!! I can't remember if I squished it before it flew off or not.

Trent, I appreciate your “dedication/sacrifice” for the last image—I don’t recall ever seeing this common occurrence captured as well as you have. Great image! I also favor the “fiery” evening landscape too—nice! Both floral captures are also well captured, I especially favor the first.A few images with red.

Great images Doug—I love the Cadillac Mountain and the Maine Blueberry Field images! The Harbor image is also well captured with the reds of the sky, harbor buildings, and their reflection—perhaps my favorite!

As red as I've seen from Banff...
