We have a lovely red flower in our garden at the moment, I took a picture of it but the red is not the same red as the flower, what do you all think is wrong and how do I correct this...??

As has already been said, you should probably start by calibrating your monitor. Monitors use Red, Green and Blue color channels so it's entirely possible your Red channel is problematic while the Blues and Greens are not.We have a lovely red flower in our garden at the moment, I took a picture of it but the red is not the same red as the flower, what do you all think is wrong and how do I correct this...??
Thanks for the info guy's, I think I will just avoid red flowers.....
Well it's entirely possible this was "situational"; sometimes the lighting is such that a particular color channel blows-out. This time it appears it was the Red channel but in a broader, more over-arching sense, this is One of Those Things we deal with as digital photographers: Individual color channels sometimes blow out. This being the case I have to agree with Fred in that the solution isn't to avoid shooting red flowers. It's up to you of course but I'm going to suggest you learn to correct for color-channel blow-out because I doubt very much you're going to find the issue will be limited to red flowers.That doesn't make sense. You posted a question and asked for help. You were given several answers and directions for making the necessary correction, and your response is to NOT take pictures of red flowers?
My little jest...............Oops...........................
I don't know about anybody else, but I've found this discussion to be quite informative and am delighted to have stumbled on it. Thanks.
