Dynamic Range: Master Sushi (100% Crop)

I caught 'The Chef' taking a break with the SD14,
and 100mm f/2.8 EX Macro.

Note: More than AF, resolution, or anything else,
the dynamic range on the SD14 is the thing that caught
my eye. It's amazing and somewhat understated. This shot
has been processed. The image was shot in the harsh afternoon
sunlight. On the original file, the wall, and chef's uniform were
nearly washed out. Look at how much can be recovered just using
the 'highlight' feature in Photoshop CS2.

I'm still amazed at the detail that this rig can get. Cool shot; love the light/shadow, and that precise sharpness. V ++

Aside from DR, this is a great composition and a tight one too. Voted
