Helen has been looking through the images and playing with the contrast,
both generally and locally, and in general pushed it up a bit after your
comments. To be honest, she is really just learning what LR can do and how
it can do it, and I'm trying not to put too much of my aesthetic on her
images, so its great to have the input from someone else.

Cheers

Alastair
