Thanks Jim, 
I spent ages trying to get the colour temperature right as I had seen it.
The different areas of the picture had widely different colour temperatures.
I worked out the sunlight was dominant and went by eyedropper around the
edges of the windows.  Printed A3 it looks a treat.

I like L1000953.jpg... the warmth of the color is very nice to my eye.
