It's always interesting when people tweak other people's photos.
In this case I prefer the original; Godfrey's version seems much
too bright, and it emphasises the slightly washed out highlights.
Perhaps I need to look at the calibration of my monitor.
I went to look at the two pictures together on the calibrated monitor
again, just to be sure I didn't post the wrong file. Figured I'd run
a composite ... this is a screen capture of the two photos, opened in
the same browser, to which I added a histogram showing the pixel
values on each of the images.
Original on the left, my edit on the right:

You should be able to see that the two images' highlights are
virtually identical, the work I did was to open up just shadow
values. This is an sRGB tagged JPEG rendering so the differences
should be clearly apparent if you use a browser that honors profiles.
