Nice !
I remember you complaining about the bad reproduction of reds by the 8080 !
This rose comes out not so bad but basicly I agree with you - we could expect more shades of red in this rose !

Thanks Dirk,
Yes, the good reds appear to be difficult for 8080 (Although I have seen some nice shots by the other members). My solution for the red color is to reduce the contrast (-2 at least) and overexpose it a bit, so the sensor absorbs all the fabric it can get. The greens in the background happened to be bright enough to be seen as well. So it came out not badly. I only wish I had a better focus, so I would not have to over-sharpen it. It does look a bit plasticky now. I think.
