[Leica] IMG: Another Monochrome Lighthouse

[tmanley at gmail.com (Tina Manley)]

Here is the original, untouched file, except for converting to jpg and
posting on pBase.

The Monochrome files are very flat looking, but I know all of the tones are
there.  Should I just run them through Silver FX or some other program or
continue to experiment with LR?

I appreciate any and all help.
