Thanks, Tony.
Here is a re-edit with your suggestion.
I guess with bottom middle dark space you mean the deck? Do you mean filled with light or people with people?

Ah, I got it now. It was so dark in the first version I could not see any details. Could be even lighter for my dim eyes.

We must have the monitor calibrated differently. Looks like yours is in the very dark side, because mine is calibrated on the dark side for printing and I can see the deck and the boards in the OP. It's dark, but it's there. And my eyes are dim, probably like your
You also have to think that up in the space there is darkness

That is really weird, since all the photos I post look bright enough on my monitor and nobody has said they look too dark on their monitors. Even when I bring up the brightness on my monitor to maximum I can't make out the detail in that area.
If I open your image in PS and bring up the shadows by 100% the images looks great.
Does this look too bright on your monitor?

Yeah. That makes a big difference, Tony. Looks bright on my monitor. May be it has to do with personal like, how we prefer to see the image. What I consider "bright" may be different from what you consider bright on this image, because that big difference on monitor calibration is hard to believe.
