Re: [OM] E-30

I was concerned that this may have been me messing with the image and  
matters of personal taste. I find your last two with recovered shadow  
detail to be rather flat for my taste and I worried that I may have  
been using the Lightroom slider for blacks a bit too enthusiastically  
for yours. I do like to see real black in an image. The sun was  
bright that day and these white trunks do look very pale in life.
I checked the original image and this is what the jpeg looks like  
with no fiddling whatsoever - looks like I hardly touched it in the  
previous.

The detail on the trunk is there but is not very distinct in sunny  
conditions - these trees shed to white or grey new bark. The detail  
is also there in the shadows but on my Cinema display, your recovery  
of the details behind the trunk looks very flat, grey and  
underexposed. I may have gone too contrasty but I think you're too  
far the other way.
