Well thanks for the nice words but I think I still need to learn from you instead Smile
Yah, I think the flash thing really makes lighting more manageable so that we can concentrate on focusing/composing rather than worrying about lighting.
Let's meet up sometime and you can play with it.
By the way, are the images overexpose?
I am using my laptop to adjust the contrast so it might not be perfect as LCD on laptop sucks.
Need Apple's LCD, that one damn gorgeous Wink

I need to check the histogram, but then can't do that at office right now Sad.

Apple Cinema Display? Not as good as Eizo though Razz.

mmm, interesting. I think it was slightly under expose when I took the image, then when I post process I might have blown it. Got to be careful next time. Thanks ! Thinking of getting a new monitor now Wink

It isn't about the monitor, you need to watch your histogram while processing it. Smile Avoid clipping on the right corner, these details will be gone once clipped.

Yup, thanks for the advice.
Normally I dont see the histogram in the processing software Smile Just rely on my eye sight... you are right, need to keep an eye on it next time.

Its not about the exposure, is the softness of the lighting - the shadow, the background, the reflection, the burnt out area etc...
