Bruce, Just now took a look at "Balance". IMO it lacks the depth that might be provided by a slight + nudge of the contrast slider. Shel's clean (virtually artifact free) treatment appears to me a great starting point, so am offering a version providing a hint more depth. Tiny +contrast and light glare-removing touches with "burn" tool.
