Okay, had a few minutes to spare, so redid the image.
Was still in my LR catalog, with the old settings, so I didn't manage to not see the original, but I clicked "reset" as quick as I could

Very weird that the image lightens quite a bit if I add saturation, or lower vibrance.. I've seen that happen before, and still cannot explain that.

I think my new edit is better then the LR1 version, but there are some things that could be improved by doing local adjustments (which I didn't).

For once I didn't strip out the development settings, so you can see what settings I used (and what corrections were needed with the ACR 2.4 profile as opposed to the "Camera Neutral" used in the new version) in the info (click the image)
