I love the drama of the image, but I think you overdid it a bit.
If you use the shadow/highlight adjustment on the posted image and  
just change only the shadows to 100/26/80 (keep highlights at 0) it  
shows what I mean.
How to accomplish this on the original high res image depends on how  
you treated it (masks, overlay, dodged/burned, selections of parts of  
the image, ...)
Thanks for showing,
Philippe
