Tina,Great shot.  I'm with Ted; the upper right and lower left need to be
paper black.  With the pushing the highlights are probably blown put try a
HDR with two scans to pull out any information at the edge of white.  What I
think you are looking for is what W Eugene Smith did with his Haitian insane
asylum image; almost all black except for the important details: her face
and torso and the tortillas.
