This is guesswork as I was not there and have not seen your DNG file...

It looks like a converted colour shot with no mid-tones. Your -2/3 stop and 
yellow filter will have similar effects, the underexposure (and lightening 
in PP) will increase the contrast a little and the yellow filter will 
increase some contrast further. I know Jay uses this technique but 
personally I give the 'correct' exposure and do not use coloured filters 
most of the time, bumping up contrast etc in PP.

OK. Tell me what I'm doing wrong.  I underexposed by 2/3 of a stop, I used a 
yellow filter.  It must be something I'm doing or not doing in LR.  Can you 
give any advice.  The tones must be there.  I'm just not getting them out.

TIA
