You are right Markus, we are all caught with this dilemna. To help solve it, it is useful to remind that the versa is not a mirror image of the versus in the digital dynamic range. That is, the maximum of information in the spectrum is skewed towards the highlights, while the minimum is toward the shadows. I don't remember the values exactly, but it works by a factor of two. Say the first stop in the shadows is covered by 16 shades, the second by 32, the one in the middle grays by 64, the light greys by 128, and the last highlights by 256. This means that the gradual transition in the highlights is more subtle than in the shadows. This is true, but to a limit. That is, there is no 257th shade of white. After the last grade in the highlights, it drops to nothing, void of any information. This is what we get with the clippiing of highlights. It is a good practice therefore to expose for the highlights in the digital realm. This is done by checking the histogram. The curve has to touch the right side, while not bump onto its limit. Then you have the most information available, without clippping.
This may lead to darker pictures. Using a software device, such as Highlights/Shadows in PS, it is possible to lighten the shadows, or pull the info from the first stops to the next. You do have poor information in there (only 32 shades as by my faked figures), so pulling it up may bring out some "noise" too. Noise can be cleaned by way of post-processing.
This article is now a classic reference, and going back to it, I just saw the right figures !

Thanks a lot, Christian, for all your comments. Yes, these pictures in the back light are very often a compromise. If I get the grass right then I lose the details in the shade or vice versa.
Regards, Markus

A nice compostion with the subject well framed on the left. It's too bad the highlights on the grass have been overexposed.

Ohh no, Drilan. And I was so tempted to title it "Alone";-D But it's a combination of a table and two benches at the side. I even don't know how it's called in German, haha.

I really like the composition of the trees - especially with the park bench between them. The silhouette image of the tree trunk and branches against the fall colors of the leaves is very beautiful.
