Burnt out highlights are certainly acceptable in some compositions. For
example, specular highlights on water that are out of the range can be
quite beautiful. In the case of the bride photo, however, I would have
liked to see detail in that part of the dress. I was wondering if this
started out life as a RAW digital file. If so, was there an attempt to
pull the exposure level down and restore the midtones with the
brightness slider? That strategy can bring back a stop or more on the
high end.
