On my monitor, most of the inner detail is very dark. As long as the detail
appears on your display it would be fine IMO.
I looked at the histogram and noticed that to get the inner detail to appear
I had to move the RH set point far to the left, about midway. It appears the
white background is shifting the exposure enough to darken the inner
details. Are you spot metering ?

Here is my shooting booth. Just 3 foam-core boards cut to fit together
nicely, on a white table. <$9. The CoolLite 6 units bounce off them, and
have a translucent piece of plastic on their inside edge to diffuse any
stray direct light.

So now I can get a really shiny metal part like this without glare. Some
things shoot better in raw, others are just fine with jpg. The only
shortcoming is that black center where I am firing through. But that is
easily resolved though it is not at all critical. A little contrast
makes, imho, a little better image.

Some may say that it is underexposed. Perhaps. It looks just a little
dark on my new Dell laptop, but looks perfect on my Samsung SA350 display.
I may have to shoot for a little extra brightness to compensate for
monitor differences.
