Restoring fossils

This is a picture I took at least 30 years ago a Dinosaur National Park. I tried to lighten the picture, but I think the darker original may look better. She was cleaning dinosaur bones.

The original looks better. The original shows details of what she is working on while in the lightened version those details are blown out.

Thanks for the reply. I also thought that by lightening the picture, the colors changed for the worse.
