I would drag those curves up a bit by the shoulder where the highlights
usually are (some have it set up the other way).
Like a ducky picking up a Chickie by the back of the neck.

Then drag down the toe on the left a slight tad to regain your dark tones
and you've made your mid section more vertical which means you've improved
your Gamma. Your mid tones will separate. De-mud-ified.

Nothing that a stiff dose of Gamma globulin's wouldn't fix.
