A question about the histogram

Hi everyone,

I'm using Photoshop CS 6 to process one of my photos and when I first load the TIFF I see the histogram look like 'histo1' below. After I do a bit of level and curves manipulation, the histogram looks like 'histo2' below.

My question is, what is the goal here? Should I be trying to make 1 spike out of the 3 or leave them as is and stretch as much as I can without clipping?

Cheers, Michael.
