What do you think?

Ofcourse the final edit is personal choice and preference, but using this jpeg I would start with: brightness -25, then contrast +25
Thank you very much for the suggestions guys ! Yes, it was local tonal boost (I do have a penchant for HDR but try to keep it down as much as possible) !
Sorry I don\'t use PS so the values don\'t translate exactly and after using Perfect Photo for some mild PP the resulting TIFF doesn\'t show the original adjustments made in LR, everything\'s now levelled to zero. However you can see the new adjustments I made in LR to try to conform to your suggestions. -16 on the contrast, -50 on the Highlights and I wanted to get more black into the photo so -25 on the Blacks too.
I\'ve also noticed that part of the issue is I have the screen brightness turned down for many of the websites I visit (white backgrounds) which then messes up my edits if I forget to readjust or I over-compensate. I guess the viewers\' own screen brightness affects their perception too.
Here\'s a Before & After screen clip followed by the full rework. Does it look any better ? Anything I\'ve missed or done wrong ? Still too crispy ? Cheers ! Kevin.
