I think some of the details, the eyes especially, look better in your
version, but the hair and the jacket, IMO, look better in the original. I
still prefer the original overall, though it also seems to have a very
slight colour cast, or is that my imagination? Perhaps my left eye is
bloodshot.

In this case I prefer the original; Godfrey's version seems much too
bright, and it emphasises the slightly washed out highlights. Perhaps
I need to look at the calibration of my monitor.
I went to look at the two pictures together on the calibrated monitor
again, just to be sure I didn't post the wrong file. Figured I'd run a
composite ... this is a screen capture of the two photos, opened in the
same browser, to which I added a histogram showing the pixel values on
each of the images.
Original on the left, my edit on the right:

You should be able to see that the two images' highlights are virtually
identical, the work I did was to open up just shadow values. This is an
sRGB tagged JPEG rendering so the differences should be clearly apparent
if you use a browser that honors profiles.
