post the real original, the whole frame - if you used a raw file even better
the more pixels the easier to work on.

You can post it at www.sendspace.com Just upload it and it will give you a link to copy and paste here. You don't have to fill in boxes asking for email etc...

I had a quick go using your first photo...

It will be interesting to try this with some combination of layers to add/subtract.

ed it looks nice but the problem ive seen with others is that it becomes too blown out

Yeah I'm learning that even in the daylight I need to keep my speedlight handy to try and fight off ugly shadow to make the editing process a lot easier. Also having a reflector can help as well if you don't have the speedlight as you can reflect light into the shadow.
