Thanks, Marnie and Kenneth. I spotmetered the leaves, and counted on the fill flash to brighten up the headstone. I may play with this a bit when I get a chance (this weekend), and see if I can get a better compromise between the leaf exposure and headstone exposure in the scan. PSE2 doesn't have a "lighten shadows" option, but the Epson scanner software does.
