Unless you want a special effect. If you look at your histogram when you have a dull or flat subject (like your owl for example), you don't have blacks and not enough contrast to make the picture punch. In that case, you can darken the blacks and bring up the highlights (contrast adjustment) and then you can adjust the brightness to give your image character. Harder to explain than to do (at least for me).Hope this helps a bit.</blockquote>
