Ken,

Maybe I sound sarcastic -- more tongue in cheek, I hope. Is there no way to make a suny day exposure look like a sunny day, without including blown highlights and washed out mid tones? I've seen this same treatment in most of your images, which probably means it's a choice, but I often read you as claiming victory over high SBR scenes that you render as what I consider to be dull and lifeless ones, and I know some others have the same reaction to your images, which is not a value judgement, just a personal response.
