I've used extremely high rgb (400+) values for my light source - so I  
guess that's the problem.
The first try was on the default settings and many other settings with the  
same results.

I'm quite happy with the current result without hdr.

There is one other problem: I've noticed the edge pixels don't fit in with  
the rest of the scene - but you don't notice it if the image is on a light  
background.
