Love the hi-res shot Darell - so much to see!

There seems to be quite a few people on these forums who erroneously claim some people's images a clipped without actually inspecting the images. More often than not, they are incorrect and just viewing these images on an improperly calibrated monitor (laptop screens being the usual suspects).
Please don't make these erroneous claims guys - it is very unhelpful, especially for beginners who though they were doing it right and are now confused (again).
Detecting a clipped image is quite well defined. A clipped image will have R G B values that are exactly 0, 0, 0 (even then, that value is allowed if it represents the absolute blackest pixel in your data set). I cannot see these in this instance. You can argue about the preferred background levels, but this has nothing to do with clipping.

Cheers,
