Thanks Bob - that is the limit of my PS skills I'm afraid. Any tips?

Bob, I do tinker with these regularly and have experimented with curves (!) but I'm always wary of overcooking things. Its not like film which was more WYSIWYG. I need to spend some serious time learning photoshop. Books, I have. Time, I haven't. A project for retirement.

Thanks KK. Now to me the colours look a bit too rich but it is certainly punchier. The selective sharpening is excellent and I prefer the bg, I just would not saturate as much.

Thanks for all the suggestions and reposts. I have done another image for comment at

This is slightly harder as it is part shade part sun but I have tried to make it richer and punchier. Apologies for using the boards for a critique but it is definitely on topic!
