OK, OK, a wee little bit of clipping. But seriously, those tulips were
clip-me-red. What's a poor photographer to do? BTW, I would suggest
that backlit tulips are absolutely the most challenging to photograph
and keep from clipping flower there is. There is a purity of tone to
them that just pounds the poor RGB technology to death.

Before I uploaded the image, I did see that the histogram was a little
happy on the right side, but figured that it was tiny enough that it
wouldn't matter. Besides, as your illustration shows, where it did
clip has some texture to it. It's not a wide expanse of clipness. I
think most people would consider it acceptable.

No. I was a little slow today.
