I bumped up the fill light and highlights in LR and bumped up the blacks as well. (Probably needs more sharpening than I gave it too.) First was too gray and dark. http://www.mapphotography.com/patspic-1.jpg I also tried some very dramatic B&W variations (not showing here). So you could go that route too. Just needs some work. (I might clone out part of the person on the right too).
