Brighter might help. I'm not feeling it in general, though.
Mind you, so what? I love that you always come back with something different and new and interesting. I never have such creativity. When you do that... you win some, you lose some. No biggie. I always enjoy seeing what you're up to.
I did tinker a bit with global brightening on it and I didn't like what it did to the "light" on the right, it got distracting and too much of a draw. I may mess a bit with a selective brightening....
