If you are ever in need of inspiration for a theme or a shot just use flickr to get some ideas.
The February theme for our work Photo competition was Red. I use Flickriver (http://flickriver.com/photos/tags/red/interesting/) to search for tags and inteesting photos of "red" and heh presto loads of ideas. I finally went with this shot becasue it was so simple.
The depth of field and bokeh was easy to produce with a 100mm macro lens fully open @ f/2.8 and the shooting on a tripod made composition easy to set up with the rule of thirds in mind.
I found out yesterday that I placed third in the competition.
As always the procesing was done from RAW in Lightroom 2 with some simple exposure adjustemnts and increase in clarity and blacks to give a snap to the red colour.
A little part of the web for me to talk about Photography, what I'm up to, share experiments, recent shots, hints and tips. To share my (limited) experience with others and to gain further skills myself.

Textured Red Acer
Shot a few weeks ago but only recently tweaked in photoshop by overlaying some textures. Sctratched metal is the main one. 
This is the first blog post I've uploaded direct from lightroom using Timothy Ames' excellent plug in. http://www.photographers-toolbox.com/products/lr2blog.php
