Ok, Thanks! I think it's the white sheet that messes it up for me. Too much white for me. But that was the set up and time..
White is white: that sheet was for me the tell tale sign** that the photo was properly exposed. Were it darker (i.e. grey, as cameras stubbornly render white when using the auto exposure/metering) I'd have suggested lightening the image.
White being white, it does advance and catches the eye. You could try adding a vignette in PSE, and see if it helps a bit.

**Another sign of good exposure are the flowers on the sheet: one is brilliant red (that's your mid-tone, BTW) and the other bright yellow. Yellow is never s'posed to be dark. Were you to darken the photo the yellow would become ochre.
