Thanks to all for the constructive comments,

I put them into practice:

1) I recalibrated my monitor with a Spyder 2.0 and
started over again from RAW in LR

2) Converted to jpeg in LR as usual for the LUG Gallery
(highest quality)

http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DMS/album150/Recalibrated_Monitor_Centre.jpg.html

Still no detail!

3) converted to tiff in LR - the detail I could see in
lower petal of the middle flower in the original RAW
image is still there

Looks like the problem of what looks like
over-saturation and loss of detail is a format
conversion problem

Cheers
Douglas
