This was shot in Venice during Carnival 2006. I'm new to photography and this forum. I use a Rebel XT with a Canon EF-S 17-85mm... Your comments are most welcome, I want to improve as much as possible.

If yes, then there is hope for the blown out highlights. If no, then probably not. We have no way of knowing of any post processing that you may have done. Bob

In Raw processing it will be a simple matter to reduce the exposure and see how much, if any, of the lost detail can be recovered. Naturally, the rest of the image will be likewise affected, but that can usually be compensated for with the other sliders. Don't even try going more than 1 f-stop lower with the exposure setting, because that is the limit of what can be recovered. Bob

I do think that blown highlights are made out to be more of a problem then they actually are. If it was overwhelming then yes it's a problem, but i don't see one in this case I don't know what good composition is.... Sometimes for me composition has to do with a certain brightness or a certain coming to restness and other times it has to do with funny mistakes. There's a kind of rightness and wrongness and sometimes I like rightness and sometimes I like wrongness. Diane Arbus
