Wow, sounds too complicated for me...You get an A for effort!!

That makes perfect sense now, because the dynamic range is too big for a camera to handle. Oh, and what you did sounds like a lot of work, but it's well worth it.

Thanks... about those bright and shady areas... I actually made two versions of this photo from the raw original. One was exposed for the bright. The other for the shadow. I put them on layers, the shadow over the bright, and used the magnetic lasso to lasso around the dark area from the left of the easel, around the blue sleeve, along the lady (Pearl) and up the trees. I cleaned up and feathered the selection, selected the inverse and cut it away revealing the bright areas. I used a tad of highlight/shadow to bring out the details in the shadow even more. I don't think I could have done it otherwise. I did try just shadow/highlight and it made the image much to flat and odd. Thought you'd like to know how I did this. :) Ann

I'm with Marry Anne, the expression on her face makes the photo look so much fun. She is certainly enjoying what's she's doing. Also kudos to you and the 20D for capturing both the bright and shaded areas (are you listening Paul).

She seems to be having so much fun. I love the expression on her face. --Mary Anne
