Hi,
Isn't it just a matter of applying the correct white balance? I tried that. But I agree that the contrast doesn't seem right...

Regards, Alex

Zog,
Once again into the breach eh?

OK I went with a high key so the darkest shadow should not be below 50% but then I hit the it just doesn't look right point and started twiddling

I went with a BTN correction and bumped the middle tones a bit to make the contrast range look right...
