Nice pictures for sure, just a little bit too light for my taste. What's your reasoning behind such approach, Dominique?

Thank you Peter. Well, before the sun came out, except for the colors of the flags which render pretty bright under such conditions, the remaining of the scene offered little contrast to work up with. When reducing the exposure, the whole photo pretty quickly turned out rather grey and dull, I finally prefered not reducing the exposure too much.

I should maybe give a try at reducing the exposure a little bit more...

Hi Dominique,

I understand that just reducing the exposure would make the picture rather grey and dull. But I took the liberty to play with your first picture in my ACDSee. I applied my most popular PP action: the Lighting levels adjustment. I applied the Auto setting and your picture turned out pretty nice. I personally like such "dramatic" lighting. But again, every one has a different taste.

Regards,

Peter
