Hello Jens, Yes, highlights are a problem, especially when the groom is in the shot wearing black.

Re: SV: PESO - The Bridge
Burnt out highlights are certainly acceptable in some compositions. For example, specular highlights on water that are out of the range can be quite beautiful. In the case of the bride photo, however, I would have liked to see detail in that part of the dress. I was wondering if this started out life as a RAW digital file. If so, was there an attempt to pull the exposure level down and restore the midtones with the brightness slider? That strategy can bring back a stop or more on the high end.
