RWBB's are not easy, you have done very well with details. This may sound a bit 'nit-picky' but it is only to help you get the most out of a shot like this..............
The image is bit on the 'red' side IMO, the Contrast is a bit high but the time of day appears to be stronger sunlight. For me or IMO look at shots like this and look for a deep black with detail, opening up the exposure to this extent can look over lightened, the wing bar with the yellow red looks overexposed to me. Not at all a bad shot, really a very good shot that can benefit from careful processing or experimenting. Details are spot one, you have a great file to work with, try it a few times
Cardinal, reds tend to over emphasize easily in digital files, sometimes a mere tinkering with just the red channel or with Saturation can tame these. For me #1 Cardinal isn't too far off, #2 is too dark. You may find files like this easier to work if you take away some Contrast then add it if you need too. I think you have a good red but just a bit too saturated in #1 or a wee bit bright Again. IMO #1 Card is closer to best than #2 is.
Hope my comments help, C&C given as I see it, others may vary
