Yep, much better already!

Good work.
Try this, I like to do this but have to be careful because its easy to overdo.
If you're using photoshop:
1) Duplicate the layer.
2) Set the layer mode to "overlay"
Then you get something like this

You can also do this to individual layers for some pretty cool effects. And also experiment with the "lighten" etc modes.
Usually I would first have done this, then changed the levels and/or changed the level in the individual layers, but I dont have your layer file obviously. Somthing for you to try.

There go all my secrets... :P
