One thing I like doing when the contrast ISN'T overly stylized (heavy contrast or muted) is to slightly desaturate the highlights. Makes the overall color look more clean. When the values are more muted, you can get away with cross processing in the highlights, but with this level of contrast I suggest the desaturated highlights. Not too wide of a value range, just the brightest highlights. Attaching an image showing some spots that could use a little more LF d&b and how I'd desaturate the highlights. Thanks for contributing
