ACR shadow rendering different to Photoshop

Question

It has been this way for several years on my systems. Adjust shadows to my liking in ACR but shadows on saved 16 Bit Tiff file are rendered in Photoshop lighter and slightly different in colour. In the attached Photoshop_SP20315.jpg file (cropped image - not from screen grab) you can clearly see some of the green from tree foliage and overall lighter shadow detail in the blacks, in ACR I have intentionally crushed the shadows to almost pure black as shown in the attached screen grab image.

Same happens on Mac Pro with X-Rite spectro calibrated Eizo, and calibrated Macbook Pro - accepting retina screen difference.

Please note I normally ACR adjust in ProPhoto and save Tiff to ProPhoto for further editing before final archival - please ignore the ACR screen grab sRGB space - this screen grab does, however, represent in good faith how the image looks on my Eizo in ACR processing in Pro Photo RGB.

Any ideas please?

Downloaded and looked at both images in Photoshop on a calibrate/profiled NEC PA302W (an upper class display) and I have to say the actual images of the batter and background look pretty much the same. So, I'm not sure how you prepared the images...if you are seeing a difference one might ask what's different? In my experience, the display preview in ACR/Lr and Photoshop are identical.
