These are store-bought red pistashios. I did not 'paint' them before or after I photographed them. The title is a reference to a suggestive theme that I saw in the shot, but I guess no one else noticed it!

Great colors used here. The crimson in contrast to the light beige works well. I like the composition and the use of the lighter colored nut on the left. Very good lighting and details. 9 -danny
Just kidding. Very sumptuous shot. Like the red spot editing, although I get the urge to find more meaning in the shot than I believe there is, which prevents it from having that x-factor for me.
Wonderful shot, love the red and love the title ( I am from Alabama ..Alabama football ..crimson tide) :) Anyway, your lighting for this shot is great, adds focus to your subject. Great shot.
Not sure what these are but you have good colour and good shallow D O F
Not to keen on the white border but no points lost for it it may be just a little on the large side
Well done
I love the rich reds of this photo, has kind of a valentine vibe to it. I like the composition and your subject really stands out, as per the challenge details. Border is a little wide, but it's just a border, it's the image that counts. Nice job!
