Thank you for your kind comment!
I'd prefer to whiten the background for a better contrast, but my usual method for doing so would have resulted in loss of details in the light areas. I could still use an alternative method using the "brush" in Lightroom, but this takes a bit of extra effort and time and not always produces the desired effect.

Moved, Norape tenera
