Roses close-ups 105mm f2.8.........

Nice shots, and well controlled exposure. How did you meter them? It can be hard not to blow out one color channel when you shoot brightly saturated colors, especially reds, blues, or purples. (Those because those colors lack green and digital cameras have more photosites devoted to green, and their exposure tends to be weighted to green.)

I think my camera (D200) would have blown out the red channel in at least part of these images unless I dialed in some exposure compensation, but your shots are spot-on, with the reds very bright, but just below maximum brightness.
