same image. take 2!!

Hello.
This is the new version of the image I added into the critique gallery recently. Thanks for everyone whom commented on the previous image.

The first image was taken straight from the camera. This time I have PS-ed the following..

lightened the whole image a tiny amount using the Curves...
I then magic wanded around the person, feathered the selection by 3px and lightened the person further...
I zoomed in on the face and dodged and burned in the shadow and lightened some details...
Afterwards I reduced the noisey grain a little using a plug-in filter. (the light was very low at the cable park so was shooting at ISO800!!)
Finally I cropped the shot a little to accentuate the main subject.

Any more advice will be very valuable.

Thanks
Jules
