I'd agree I could tweak the gamma curve somewhat better to display more information in the "interesting bits" .

But I'd still make the personal choice to make sure those tranformations are image wide, rather than localised ( ie. loss of shadow detail due display limitations being the likely result)

BTW zooming into a <50% quality .jpg is bound to disappoint. The fine structure in the original .tiff looks good to me... But I doubt anybody is going to thank me for putting a 100Mb into their browsers
