I agree with BAK. This is more or less what your pictures should look like:

Thanks, Macro guy. I see the improvement. What tweaks did you make? I shot in RAW and am using DPP.

All I did was played with the curves a bit. I brought up the midtones and high mids and then I played with the highlights just a bit to keep the ice from completely washing out. It took me all of 30 seconds to do it. It wasn't anything special or difficult.

Thanks.  I am still learning the curves and look forward to the point where using them is as instinctual for me as they have become for you.  I shot JPEG for years before finally making the leap to RAW, so at least they're now more readily available to me.
