I originally posted this in cornering the pros, but i hope i can get some feedback here as well.

I took this photo on friday. I had set the exposure comp to -1 2/3 i believe because my photos have been overexposed in the past. anyway, i didnt know how dark the photo was until i saw it on my computer. Lets see what all you ps gurus can do. please also include your process along with the photo.

It's really helpful if you can include a link to the 'original' image (i.e. full size and RAW if you have it).

Here's my try.... Changing curves, adding saturation, more brightness & contrast and then removing camera noise. All done in PaintShop Pro 9.

just a quick 'curves' adjustment layers in PS6. The guy standing a bit extra. Still needs some noise removal though. Not a brilliant result, but at least you see something.... Tricky to get the image brighter, yet not completely 'whashed out'
Curves used: overall (could make this a bit more): 14/52; 82/22; 150/55 on RGB channel, 173/255Red channel; 180/255 Green channel; 188/255 Blue Channel. Guy: 183/203 RGB Channel.
Well, see it as a learning experience :p

This is my first post so forgive me if it doesn't come out right.:)
Used Levels, Curves, Gaussian Blur, Unsharp Mask then then with the dodge tool lightened up the dark spots, afterwards increased saturation.

Just a newbie try with the gimp...sorry I can't tell you exactly how I did it. Mostly just playing it by "eye" with color and brightness/contrast changes.

Maybe I'll get better at explaining things....:o
