OK, OK, a wee little bit of clipping. But seriously, those tulips were
clip-me-red. What's a poor photographer to do? BTW, I would suggest
that backlit tulips are absolutely the most challenging to photograph

ACR, but for a touch of FM, post downsizing, and also brightened up with LCE and Curves.
BUT, BUT, no clipped red channel, even after sharpening.
The other three have had heaven knows done to them. And, if you Select Highlights, and look at that histogram, you will
find a few R=255 pixels. But look closer, and you will find that they aren't red pixels, but white/specular reflection
pixels. I had to toss in some through-lit yellow, too. :-)
SO, it can be done! AND without looking all flat and lacking glow.
As Joel has pointed out, one may not want to. But it ain't that the tech can't
do it. I'll bet even the L1 can.
Before I uploaded the image, I did see that the histogram was a little
happy on the right side, but figured that it was tiny enough that it
wouldn't matter.
I noticed. Would have said no more, but for:
