I use Kims settings as well but much of the difference between your images and Lloydys can be explained by the very low contrast (presumably) British winter light that is typical of latitudes far from the equator.

In NZ like in Thailand, sunlight is much harsher and contrast much greater. In those conditions I find EXR cameras to be a lifesaver compared to most other cameras I have tried because the blown highlights problem goes away without needing to underexpose the image, which degrades IQ with small sensors.

... It is absolutely true that the light where I am is extremely harsh. There is no 'one size' fits all settings but I use what I use because it suits my needs.

Below is a SOOC image with my settings. Incidentally, not too dissimilar to KL's except I am using DR 200%. DR 400% is OK also but it flattens the contrast too much for my taste. Where do you think KL got the settings in the first place ?

SOOC - Shooting toward the light - Pretty much a worst case high contrast scenario

With shadows/highlight adjustment using ACR

With a little more editing in PS
