    What was the time of day when those images were made?

    If your two images were made at night-time; or at dusk; or at dawn, then that a lighting scenario which is very different to the lighting scenario of Erik's image. If those two images were made at night-time; or at dusk; or at dawn, then (no offense intended) any comparison of those two images to Erik's image, is not really relevant to this conversation.

    For clarity and accuracy - the advice in Post #15 does NOT refer to: night-time; dusk; and dawn lighting scenarios.

    Creation date 23-03-2011 20:07:30. I checked the other pictures to be sure. It was rather late, you're right.

    Great discussion everyone and thanks for the help.

    William - as always you answer is well founded and solid examples to communicate your point. Thank you very much ** Throws a Mars Bar at William **

    I have learned a great deal in reading and going through the review for this photo. I see my options and further now feel better about how I would have captured this scene. Incidentally I started to fall back to the Sunny 16 rule more and more over the trip. As a result in some of these more challenging mid day shots I will have better success in recover details in Post Processing.

    Thanks again everyone...hope it was helpful to others as well.
