Hi Niko,
There's not much noise in there for 5 minutes which is good.
I mostly use just levels in gimp, I prefer it over curves.
I've attached a screenshot of the R,G,B channel settings I adjusted to, then a bit of saturation.
IMO, key is adjust only shadows for dark area corrections and highlights for bright areas. I prefer not to use feathered selection unless I have to stretch highlights too much.
so in the attached,
blue channel - reduce in shadows and highlights - reduces blue hue
red channel - increase in midtones and highlights
green channel - reduce shadows and midtones - reduces yellow hue
all channels - reduce shadows and increase midtones - darkens background and brings out a bit more detail in brighter areas
I could be wrong, but this is what I use.
