Jonathan …just picking up on your comment about your whites not being bright, in this example it’s merely the fact you haven’t set the max white for the image. There’s a lot of dead space to the right of the histogram……

Simply resetting the white point in Levels will significantly lift your image.

The only warning is that you don’t want to blow out the highlights or you lose definition.  

In this case adjusting BOTH the highlight and gamma are recommended.

Bring the white point CLOSE to the right end of the histogram, then move the gamma to get a bit more white contribution in the midtones, THEN darken the black point to get back some contrast…..

AND…….clean your sensor, you’ve got some dust bunnies on that image. :lol:
