Here’s one I took last spring in Bluffton, SC. The red pretty much dominates the rest of the antique store.

At one time there was a Challenge Thread that ran for several years (some of you will remember and for some of us, that is where we met) RED is a color associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination, passion, desire and love. RED is intense, brings text and images to the foreground - an accent color used to stimulate people into making quick decisions. (Color Wheel Pro - color theory)

RED's global similarities are significant: one of the top 2 favorite colors of ALL people, appears in 77% of the world's flags.

Blogger/photographer Kent DuFault ("google" him) analyzed the photographs posted on one photo challenge site in effort to boost his images' performance. He discovered those receiving the most "points" more frequently contained some RED. RED gets noticed.

Other forum topics post links so I am trying it. I found these articles very interesting.

In this challenge do more than post RED. Think about RED and the impact it has on your image. Does it show energy, passion, intensity, a powerful message? Tell us in word and image. My first post illustrates the impact of red. In the second image, I changed the color only. What do you think? Which would you want on your wall? AND most of all - have fun turning your/our UHH world RED for 3 days.

Great start, Pat. Like you said so very well, the color red can conjure
up so many different feelings, and in images, it's one of those colors
that seems to just draw your eye..."see me, see me." It's also one
of the most difficult colors to capture well without losing some of the
detail in the object.

Hope these work for your challenge.

Thanks Pat for a great start and for Hosting this Challenge. Not sure what you want. Let me explain something first. Every time I see a shot for a possible vanishing focal point I go for it. This is one of my favorite's. This is how one can interpret this shot. The "STRENGTH and faith to endure the hardships" because Freedom is not Free.
