Thanks for all your comments - much appreciated. Out of interest I'm posting the original file prior to any adjustments, although I did envisage the image in Black & White when I took it. The M8 files appear very resilient for fairly substantial adjustments. I'm using PS CS4 by the way. I added substantial vignetting to emphasise the pathway and just a little recovery (just a very little was overexposed in the top centre sky as I was very careful to examine the histogram when shooting).
