i like the colours on the first one.

Gravity won't get us high.

I prefer the first for the additional background elements, especially the stairs, that provide a balance to the composition.
The animal in the second is compelling as a subject, but the photo itself is getting lost in the blacks.

Thanks guys. I agree that the second photo is much weaker. Red is very hard to photograph because the surfaces appear to merge.

Could you meter from either a grey card or well-lit grass, then either lock the exposure or flip to manual? I once ruined a complete set of pics of a beech wood in autumn by just metering from the scene itself, which had all the reds of the leaves throughout: exposure was all over the place; I tried to meter off a grey card after that. Mind you Don, that sun is making things pretty difficult: was it about midday?

Thanks everyone. I like the first one too.

Yes it was midday. I photographed this through a bus window. They are all grab shots.
