I would not judge based on a quickie conversion effort, Boris. I have a workflow that is well developed for Photoshop CS2 with Camera Raw that's quite different from how I'm learning to work in Lightroom. When I work with ACR, for me, I design the output to be edited to a finish rendering in Photoshop. With Lightroom, on the other hand, I often do the finish rendering right there as it has more tools for adjusting nuances of the rendering directly.
The most important point is that when processing someone else's photograph I can only guess at what the light was like, what I might have wanted to capture, and what I ought to render it to be without a lot more information from the person who made the photo. It happens that in this case, on my screen, I like the rendering I did in ACR/Photoshop a little more than what I did in Lightroom ... but having spent something like 60 seconds time on either, neither is what I'd consider a finish edit at this point.
