Thanks for visiting my favourite Italian restaurant and leaving a kind comment, Carlen. This is my kind of scene, although living in Tokyo I see too little of it... the wide dynamic range makes it difficult to do it justice, doesn't it. You did well, though--I wonder what it looked like before you played with levels? I am experimenting with HDR techniques for this kind of image, to get more detail and better image quality in the shadows without losing detail in the highlights. It seems to be worth the trouble, which is considerable... .
