Frick. You're absolutely right. Ahh what's that saying? hindsight is 20/20? I'll have to remember that for next time. (Not sure why I broke the standard "light from above" rule here).

Do you think some light brushing in CS4 with a "grunge" set would do the trick? Or possibly some more on the "clarity" slider in LR2 (just on the background). I do agree with you now on second thought. It seems a bit "smooth" overall for the lower saturation and hefty vignette.


Thanks for your advice Keith!
