I agree that the final image is too flat.  My point is that I still have 
the untouched RAW files and can redo this as many times as I want without 
losing anything in the RAW.  You can't do that with Jpegs or Tiffs.  I 
spent about 10 minutes doing the layers.  One of these days I'll go back 
and spend half an hour and get it to look the way I want it to.  Then I'll 
save a Tiff but I won't discard the RAW.  I would not spend any time 
working on a jpeg.  It's just not worth it.
