This is one of the first outdoor photos I've taken with the EOS 40D. It's unedited except for resizing and some unsharp mask. And it's not unedited because I wanted to post it as a sample. It simply came out of the camera looking great and I decided to leave it as-is. That's not a normal thing for me. I do some post-processing on all of my photos. And this is a tough exposure, too - basically noon, at altitude, in the snow. This gives my high hopes for this camera as far as it having a really good dynamic range.
