Separating 16-bit data into byte planes before compressing seems to be very effective. I get 40,882,548 bytes using the simple approach of applying LZW (with predictor) to the high byte plane and no compression on the low one.

I am usually have good results with Defalate.

For your file I have:

$ tiffcp -c zip:2 -r 2592 IMG_2948.Flowers1.tif IMG_2948.Flowers1-zip2.tif
$ ls -l IMG_2948.Flowers1*
-rw-r--r-- 1 dron dron 60483984 2007-07-04 22:31 IMG_2948.Flowers1.tif
-rw-r--r-- 1 dron dron 48096986 2007-07-05 14:38 IMG_2948.Flowers1-zip2.tif

So we got 25% here, that is quite good result I think.
