Sure it will- but just like shooting positives, you have to plant your highlights where you want them and let the shadows fall where they may for the best images.

This is a bit washed out in the highlights, but it reminds me of the type of work I shot in college using a 4x5 view camera. Why don't you go back to this scene and see if you can improve on the exposure and capture more of the highlights without loosing all of the shadows?

Cheers! I added a bit of info about the shots on the original post, basically a 3 exposure HDR with a sony point and shoot camera.
- Can't believe your shot their! Awesome!
Description from my flickr:
I took this photo for my Dad to enter in a Cartier employee competition. He has already made it to the semi-finals (all of the challenges up to now were written tests), and the challenge for the semi-finals was to do your best to depict "Cartier: I love you too" via a photo. This is what we came up with!

Very nice work. How rad is it that you can do all that in-camera and save all that PP time?
Doylem: What can be done to fix it?
Looking at the exif info for this shot (17mm, f5.6, 1/6s, ISO1600) the first suggestion would be to shoot at a much lower ISO than 1600. I'd use ISO 200 (which I think is the native base iso for this sensor), a tripod and adjust the shutter speed accordingly. If this is a location you can't go back to (seeing how the date the photo was taken is 10-03-2008), then look into the software noise reduction solutions like Noise Ninja.
