I entirely see Jeff's point about the character in the face - but, given that you always sharpen quite strongly before posting, Paul, I don't think sharpening is the way to go. I op[ted for dodging highlights and burning in shadows. The lady's face isn't well lit, and the lighting overall looks like a nightmare.
But the thing I really had to do was play with hte perspective and angles. I know part of the character of the picture is to do with hte shelves bending and falling apart, sloping and sliding around - but i feel that pulling hte bottom left corner down and the bottom right corner outwards gives a sense of all angles in a world that is still essentially upright.
