Peter,
I know what you mean about the maroon ... you have to "pump in" more light than usual to highlight the color ...
and then put a "shadow" on the blade with a hand held card of black cardboard to compensate for the bright light.
Did I make any sense??
Still ... nice photo.
How's that book?
Tony
