I would suggest that the images contain more problems than just brightness. I would discard the bright image and then work on the gamma and over-saturation. Load the darker image and pull the gamma down to 1.4, add a little more red in the colour balance and the saturation pull the saturation down -10 and it's getting reasonable. Let me know if you would like me to send you my edit of the pic.
