I've played around with this photo, and I just can't get the picture to come looking more like real life. Could someone download this and give it a whirl

Define "real life" lol. I'd start with adding a touch more fill light and bringing back the vignetting. The main difficulty of photography is making an image seem more like 'real life'. It's going to be all in the quality of your capture. I'd concentrate more on lighting and composition to make your image look more realistic, then allow photoshop to improve on it.
