Basically, yeah, the faint tonal differences are intentional.

I backed that off and restored the original version once again, so have a look at it now. It's subtle, but the outline of her arm is visible.
As I said to Jack, you need you monitor to be well calibrated as I push the tones at both ends of the scale, without blowing them out. And here's the tonally less extreme colour version ... http://www.flickr.com/bruce_m_walker/8245838556/lightbox/ Thanks!
