I would like to see this with just a touch less overall contrast? The sharpening is great, but I wonder if we are loosing a touch in the shadows that would be lovely details and tones?
Oshi Shikigami you could be right. I don't use a lot of contrast to begin with, I don't like how it detracts from a photo, perhaps using none here might have been better
The only way to know is to try. I suggest if your using Lightroom, Photoshop, or other top end editor, to used Both the black and white set points, as well as blacks and whites sliders.
Go crazy with them! Shove them all the way one way then the other, in all combinations. You will overshoot likely, and some combos will look awful, but you will learn what happens, and may be surprised at what you can pull out of the image. Experiment! :-)
Ah, well that can limit what you can do. If you have the option (and money?) to do picture editing with a computer, and high grade software, I would urge you to do it.
It is kind of like the comparison with film photos, when you could have "drugstore" prints and "custom" prints. The difference between 'adequate' and 'breathtaking.'

Oshi Shikigami if I didn't have to work 10-12 hours a day, 6-7 days a week, I would have the time to open my laptop and use it. I am always at work
