Hello Tony
Calling us to visit might cause such an answer. Of coarse I know when I
put my wares, I might get critics, which is good.

First take 10 minutes and make a better title like
15 Anagama carbontrap shino teabowl ash

I must be very carful because I never did never would Anagama firing.
The .JPG is too crowded.

Now I am going one thing and the opposite.
There was an Italian painter named KORO (phonetically). He used what
was called limited pallet. He chose let's say whit blue and brown and
did marvelous paintings.There was only one or two tiny red spot like
the head of the farmer ETC that balanced the composition.
My beloved art teacher, Pnina Ben Gal, on the other hand paints all in
red, a lot of red, and her paintings are great!
So what do I try to say, It might be technically difficult to create
this beautiful red you have made.
Still you must think. Is there a reason for the RED here? Red is not
like another color it is the strongest color. If there is one red
flower in the field you will see it from far away. ...( this is tricky
because the red and green are complementary colors.)

The next time you upload JPG do it in club photo, you will be able to
write properly
