Unfortunately, that's the only image I have.

Here is a link:

This image lacks blue. I think you can have a quite good result in the 
levels dialogue by touching up the green and blue channels only (mainly 
the blue). The log scale histogram icon on the top-right of the 
dialogue would also be a good help.


Best regards,

Thanks!

A simple method I often try for adjusting the exposure of photos is to  
duplicate the layer, desaturate and color-invert the duplicate, and  
then set the Layer Mode of the duplicate to Overlay (or Soft Light,  
depending on the image). This has the effect of lightening the dark  
areas and darkening the light areas. The Opacity of the duplicate  
layer can usually be adjusted to provide a pleasing result.
