Belated reply:
Some excellent work on your www.lightdrawing.com!
On my Mac, with monitor at approx 1.8 gamma, it looks great. I don't think
you need to do anything at all to it. Not too dark, and some of the
highlights are as bright as I would want or you might lose them. Perfect
color and saturation.
