I liked the thumbnail. I've had the same problem with reds in bright light. Not so much of a problem on cloudy days or within an hour of sunrise or sunset. You might try shooting it a little dark (EV-1) and brightening it on your computer in Picassa or whatever you use to edit your photos. No, I don't know as much about photography as it may sound. I'm just passing on what someone else suggested to me and it worked!
