Thanks John. I've always thought that it's worth sharing our techniques
rather than just our photographs. I've learned a lot here myself.

I'd just like to say how much I appreciate Paul's recounting of his
techniques in Photoshop: the workflow below and his comment about
turning up the brightness and then adjusting the exposure in another
email just allowed me to rescue a shot I would otherwise have
discarded.
Paul, you da man!

It's shot RAW, converted with only small increase in temperature, a
slight reduction in exposure and increase in brightness and contrast.
I sharpened it in the converter (due to sheer laziness) to 65 and
converted it to a 144 meg 16-bit tiff. I cropped it to remove extra
space in the left of frame and cloned out a toy that was on the floor
behind Grace. I saved a 45 meg 8-bit file for printing, then resized
it in PhotoShop (Binary Sharper) for the web. I added a bit of USM to
the web image (90%, 1 pixel, threshold 11).
