That's all a histogram does. Your camera has a dynamic range of about 5 stops... Your flower pictures have a dynamic range of about 8 or 9 stops...If you use bracketing, you can get 2-3 images that cover that 8-9 stop range... then use HDR software to combine those 2 or 3 images and suddenly you have an image that seemingly covers that 8-9 stop range in a single image...You can then, using editing software, bring out the detail in the shadows, and then tone down the highlights to bring out the texture in the flowers. Flowers are all about saturation in the colors and texture...</blockquote>
