Those were good ideas. Working from the restored matte picture, I tried throwing some grain on the big slabs of concrete (only). Re-contrasted the plate. Sharpened & softened the plate & live layers. Extended the "steps" on the right side of the structure and moved the live parties to make room for it. Adjusted the RGB's to "let" the wall's moss show through (bet you didn't know about that one). Put the steps' shadows on the wall where they clearly belonged. Reddened the sky (doesn't show very much up there) and, of course, straightened that wobbly, bottom concrete edge. So, good enough for Mr. Lucas now? :)
