Hi Kristin,
Im certainly no expert! but I have used Photoshop a lot and work with people who use it professionally, so you pick up the odd tip here and there :)
If you have Photoshop CS you can also use the shadow/highlight (image/adjustments menu) to balance the dark and light areas.
Kindest Regards
Todd.

Hi Kristin,
I don't think you've done a bad job at all:) In photoshop did you apply your lightening globally to the whole image or selectively ? you could use the dodge/burn tool to pick up the shadow areas and push back the path.

It was a hard shot to shoot. I was looking to put the path as the center focus but its a little too wide...on top of which the lighting was worse than I had thought originally and I was having a hard time lighting it up with photoshop without completely draining the photo of life. It came out so so.

Its an interesting shot and the reflection of the buildings in the water makes it even more so, but I think the film has struggled with the dynamic range requested. There is quite a bit of lost detail in the dark regions and a lot of blown highlights on the pathway. Not that that really matters.
What was the focal point as the shot seems a little soft ?
Regards
Todd.
