Thanks to those who've commented. I was afraid that I'd killed too much contrast trying to bring out detail in the pier. Looks like I'm probably right. I'm going to work on it with curves a bit more. I have three different monitors and I have been unable to get them even close in terms of gamma. They are both relatively good quality CRT's, though one is obviously better than the other.
