[Leica] Purty pitures

["Chandos Michael Brown" <cmbrow@wm.edu>]

It's not as though I am compelled to demonstrate that I have a life
outside of the Green Leafe, but I am sometimes moved to make pretty
pictures of my surroundings.  It says something about the state of my
photography that I'm still scanning stuff from early spring, but here
are two from the garden adjacent my office:

This I made on the drive home the other night.  It is, I think, a
quintessential Tidewater landscape.  The view is toward the York River:

I am becoming increasingly frustrated with the shadow compression caused
by Adobe Photoshop's conversion to jpeg.  The shadows are really quite
open and detailed in all of these images, most especially in Tulips,
which here appears a sort of muddy blur in the right side half of the
image.

Can anyone suggest a better solution for making jpegs?

As ever, all comments welcomed.
