then it would have brought out the dimmer areas with more intensity.
Maybe you could have then tried a little LAB mode to increase the saturation
but I'm not sure if the image can take that without adding colour noise?

Thanks Allan. I'll look at those issues when I do my customary reprocess. Certainly the image could be improved.

Thanks Rick. I think it falls far short of perfection though.
