However, since a DSLR does not have the dynamic range as wide as the human eye, you're probably seeing more detail in that dead tomato plant than what comes through in the image. That's why I recommended the small hit of flash on the plant, to bring back some detail without changing the overall exposure of the image. The image can have dark parts, but when the detail is missing, the eye wanders to other parts of the image looking for detail. Underexposing the plant takes the focus off the plant and has the eye focusing more on the background, which in addition to being brighter, is also in reasonable focus ... consequently leaves the view wondering what the subject is.</p></blockquote><p></p>
