Thanks, feel free elaborate on the tonality as I might learn from it.

These are RAW files processed with LightRoom 4-1, so I wonder if camera
settings are important? Or are there features influencing RAW?

My default workflow in LR is increasing clarity and vibrance, lightning up
the shadows (especially since many pictures were in harsh sunlight) and
then adding a little contrast. And setting the WB correctly.

One of the differences between LR3 and LR4 I found is that clarity and
vibrance seem to have a stronger effect in LR4. So I guess I might have
overdone it a few times ;-)

Best, Frank
