An interesting shot. In regard to the conversion, I would convert the mode to RGB, if it isn't already. Then I'd go to the RGB curve and brighten just the midrange. I'd then go to the RGB curve a second time and add a bit of S-curve to increase contrast without altering the white or black point. Of course you could do the same thing in levels.
