Good job, Margarethe. I have such a hard time with photos having such large dynamic range as this one does. My poor little camera just can't handle it well without a lot of PS manipulation. I get the highlights or the shadows...and rarely both.
I have noticed the smaler range of values, too, when I compare the digital camera to my old SLR for slides. It took some getting used to. There is no PS work in this one at all.
What a beautiful stilleben. I love how the light falls on the things. A great composition. Well done, Margarethe.
