Interested to hear that you knew of five candidates already, Brian! "_Just_
5" you say? That's five too many, I say :-)
Here are my candidates. Primarily what offends is not the clouds which are
all white, rather the skyline which is hardly defined against the white
clouds
7015567
8075627
9065685
9133407 (but compare it with 9133404 which is noticeably better
highlightwise)
A055835
A093592/A093593/A093593 where it isn't so much blown highlights, as plain
overexposed!
PA073059
But not P6084876 where the treatment is clearly intentional and appropriate.

Are you sure you'd like to stick with this point?
Blown highlights don't generally occur to the eye unless we're looking
directly into the sun or stare intently into one part of a scene. That's
because the dynamic range of the human eye is far greater than any camera.
But blown highlights or blocked shadows in camera images occur frequently
because the dynamic range is inadequate to capture what the eye sees in very
bright or very dim light.

Trying to capture a landscape as the eye sees it is very difficult. But
that's your job as the photographer. Ignoring the problem is not the way to
make sales.

Thanks for the
link Chuck. I have book-marked it and will read it later.
Can you by any
chance remember which of the pics had offensively blown highlights. From
memory I can think of just 5 candidates.
