How do you set the brightness on your monitor? IMO, when the
brightness of typical LCD monitors is adjusted for optimum viewing
in a well lit room they are much too bright for accurate photo
rendering.
My calibration tool (Spyder II) includes a grey scale band for
judging brightness. But I find that with my iMacs 25-inch LCD
monitors, if I set it so that every variation of gray is clearly
visible, it's way too bright. I set the brightness of the monitor so
that an image printed on my Epson 2400 with PhotoShop and an icc paper
profile matches. Of course I use the calibration tool to set color and
white point. I suspect the grey band method works okay with top of the
line monitors, but we ordinary mortals have to use a bit of ingenuity
to get things right:-).

I'll allow that there should be a tolerance inherent in such an image.
Histogram weighted to right ( 0 left - 255 right), but nothing
actually stacked up against the right edge. Must contain some
information.

Check your monitor Jack. My comment
to Paul is great job on the detail
in the high lights.:-)
I like the back drop

Paul, I intend to check my monitor once more. Yes,
it's true, most blossoms are free of all but the slightest
bit of texture/detail.
Do you not see blown out featureless areas on
virtually all petals?
Even though it may not matter, I'll let you know what
I find with my monitor.

This flowering tree is sometimes
called a Northern Magnolia, but it doesn't seem to
have
anything in common with a real Magnolia. It's also
known as
a Tulip Tree. In any case, it's a nice bloom. And
several in
my neighborhood burst forth in bloom today. Very
early, I
might add.
