red on red

for get pushed this week @obmcreations challenged me to do a monochrome shot in anything but white or black... i am not sure this works tho'... the doll house kettle is sitting on my red spoon rest... but the spoon rest is reflecting so much light it ends up looking more white than red in some spots... so what think you - does this count as monochrome? or need i figure a way to eliminate the white?
@obmcreations - not sure if this quite works... will take another run at it tomorrow... tx - it's a good challenge for me!

very cool capture.. love the reflection

Holy crap...COLOR. And it is RED. Fav!

methinks it works (as someone who's done the same colour assignment). the tiny kettle is almost the same red as the spoon rest but it still stands out. i think the reflectiion is a bonus. see, you're good whether b/w or coloured. you da bomb!

Just because the other kids are doing it...

Oh what a gorgeous teapot. A beautiful subject and I think handled well. Sure, you could get rid of some of the highlights, but I think this is an excellent response to the challenge. There are very few whitish areas that I don't think they draw much attention at all. The reflection is awesome.

PS. Thanks for choosing my favourite colour, too. :D

Red is the colour of fire and heat and my face at times! Not my favourite colour but this is rather spectacular!
January 24th, 2014  
Yes...very nice and colorful here!...I really love how the light plays and the reflection is perfect...really love that red Northy...great choice!
January 24th, 2014  
Like the color
January 24th, 2014  
Delicate, tiny and oh, so very red!
January 24th, 2014  
Nice job of it.
January 24th, 2014  
I think it's basically monochrome. I'm sure there's a way to either set the lighting so that there's no glare or cloning out/toning down the white. But I really don't think that's necessary. Good job!
January 24th, 2014  
This counts for red on red. For sure. I love this!
January 24th, 2014  
I LOVE how it pops out from your calendar view....since all the rest is ba nd w. Really nice.
January 24th, 2014  
Love this -- and love to see such a bright red in your calendar!

Monochrome Red...great reflection!
January 24th, 2014  
nice. lovely and red - it certainly stands out in your thumbnails!
January 24th, 2014  
I think it works well, love that shadow!
January 24th, 2014  
I think this is really lovely and so different for you. Great answer for your push!
January 24th, 2014  
Cool shot, love the red :)
January 24th, 2014  
Definitely monochrome! I nearly didn't trust my eyes seeing something so violently red from the b&w girl ;). What a cute little kettle.
January 24th, 2014  
I love this idea! The white snow effect really works well with the pop of the red x well done on your challenge
January 24th, 2014  
Lovely ...
January 24th, 2014  
Works really well
January 24th, 2014  
I'd say it works...great shot.
January 24th, 2014  
This is a super response to your challenge. Personally I don't think it matters about the white spots.
January 24th, 2014  
Well I love it......and that tea kettle looks normal size!!! Great image!
January 24th, 2014  
If I didn't know it was miniature kettle I'd think there was something very weird about it -- I just wouldn't know exactly what.
January 24th, 2014  
Yes! It counts! Love it!
January 24th, 2014  
This is really striking.
January 24th, 2014  
It works I think, love the little kettle it is very sweet
January 24th, 2014  
The shot is bloody cool and am REDdy to click the "f" button :)
January 24th, 2014  
oo fab. Has a Japanese feel and I love the monochrome.
January 24th, 2014  
So strange to see a colour shot in your album but the red looks great in the calendar. I don't think the white looks bad. The reflection wouldn't be as pronounced if it wasn't there xx
January 24th, 2014  
I like it! If you are going by the painting definition of color then white is not a color, it is the absence of color. Therefore, you still win!
January 24th, 2014  
lovely little teapot and red colour
January 25th, 2014  
excellent composition, love the red behind the teapot, fantastic color and reflection
January 25th, 2014  
Ok....it looked like a shot of yours, but the colour threw me off! Wonderful..I like the little spots on the kettle.
January 25th, 2014  
A neat unusal monochrome! I like it! :)
January 25th, 2014  
Fabulous!
January 25th, 2014  
I love it. Totally awesome. A FAV from me.
January 26th, 2014

January 26th, 2014  
Wow that really jumps out on the calendar view! Totally monochrome.
January 28th, 2014  
Love the colour on colour and reflection. FAV

I don't know about the white on white, but you definitely didn't suck on this one.
