Hey, gotta agree with Bob!

Another very bright subject without blown highlights! You are indeed getting
the hang of it. As more an academic than
artistic matter, it's still possible to bring out more tonal detail in the
rather blank white areas. The image looks
good as it is, but I couldn't resist.

Again, I'm not even sure I like my altered version better; just wanted to show
that one may pull out detail that is hidden.
I can't agree with Chuck. The image does show signs of extensive manipulation,
which is fine, as long as it works, as it
does in this case, but not the spikes and gaps of doing so in 8 bit. (Chuck,
did you look without the frame?)
