A second technique to use that will help make sure your light areas are not blasted all the way to white and your dark areas are not dropped all the way down to black is to set up your lighting with a low light-to-shadow ratio. This means that the light areas should not be whole lot brighter than the shadow areas.
Michele,

This is a subject that I need to work on. I think my eye responds to drama. As Marvin says, you can create good photos or you can create good photo reference. It's all about training yourself (your eye) to the specific task. A flute without holes is not a flute. I need to slow down and think.

Good posts Marvin and Michele.
